LA trip #2 - Don't forget your razor!

I'm in LA. Solved my blow dryer situation and am preparing to meet a gentleman for breakfast who I have never met before. We planned to have breakfast together in the hotel lobby restaurant prior to meeting all day - just the two of us.

I arrive at the restaurant entrance and two men are waiting. I ask if either of them happens to be "Bob" and one says, "Yes, that's me." I reach out to shake his hand and immediately notice that he has a piece of tissue on his face, just above his upper lip and below his nose with blood clotted on it. Obviously, he had a shaving issue that morning.

Now remember, I've never met this man in my life. Should I tell him he has tissue on his face? Surely, he must know it is there/ Did he fail to make the one
last "mirror check" before leaving his room. I opt for slience on the matter and attempt to carry on normal conversation. You would not believe how difficult it is to maintain eye contact for an entire meal. Several times he rubbed his nose and I felt certain he must have felt the tissue on his face. We finish breakfast, and move to our meeting room. I had several glasses of water during breakfast so I excuse myself for a potty break.

Thankfully, upon my return, he has somehow realized he has a tissue issue and removed it!

Fast forward a few hours. I realized on that morning that I had left my razor at home. No big deal as I was wearing a pant suit but I decided to get a spare razor from the front desk so that I could shave my legs the next morning. Of course, the gimme razors are pretty basic, but hey its just a single use item. No worries.....

The next morning, I shave the left leg and bam......nick m
yself just below the knee. So, on to the right leg and guess what? Another nick in the almost the same place. Isn't this lovely!


I'm betting Bob forgot his razor too! Moral of this story - don't leave home without your razor!
