I had a Seinfeld moment the other day.

I was at a customer's doing some maintenance on our system, and I had to use the wash room. Well, I did my business, washed my hands and walked through their kitchen to get back to our machine.
I saw the IT guy I hadn't seen in about a year. He was making himself a coffee. With a joyous "Hello" and a big smile, he stuck out his hand to shake mine.

"Oh crap!" I thought. My hands were still slightly damp from washing them. Is he going to think my hands have pee all over them? He did just see me come out of the wash room. Or will he'll think I washed my hands but should have dried them better? (Come on, who ever truly completely dries them.)
I grabbed his hand and hoped he wouldn't notice.

Then I had another Seinfeld moment. Without skipping a beat, as he was telling me about his day, he went to the kitchen sink and washed his own hands!

I really wanted to tell him my hands were clean, and that dampness he felt was just left over water. I said nothing but smiled and nodded at his story.
