This just happened: the pizza delivery guy wants to use my cell phone to call in my credit card. I'm not a big germ freak, but letting a sweaty guy use my phone wasn't too appealing. He had a cell phone in the car , but I'm on the 3rd floor, so he asked to use mine. What do you do?

Hmmm..maybe. But keep in mind I said "sweaty". It's 97 degrees outside, so I would have wipe his sweat off the cell phone. I don't think that's too "freaky".

There are a few more factors. Was he extremely sweaty? Was he extremely sweaty AND fat? Did it look like he had showered lately? How good is your cell phone?

I am not a germ freak at all, but I would definately not want a 340lb greasy, sweaty delivery man pressing my $300 phone up to his face.

He was sweaty enough where there would be noticeable sweat on the phone when he handed it back. I mean, he running around in a beater car delivering pizza in 97 degree heat.

So if he was skinny and really sweaty it would be a different story? OP you are a fricken nit for posting this in the first place, if this is all you have to worry about, I want your life. Man societies views are all [censored] up.

I felt a little snobbish. But really, the guy should have brought his phone with him. I tipped him an extra buck.

I would say this soley depends on how much you want that pizza.

Most definitely, I agree with him bringing his phone with...its the other points, not mostly stated by you.

Possibly. I find that greasy/dirty and fat usually have a correlation.

Heh, maybe I am a jerk.

Coming from a dude who used to be fat, but I worked my ass off to get into shape again, society looks upon those people way different before even knowing that person. The fat greasy comment, what if he was skinny and sweating...[censored] nits

Let me get this straight--you'll eat a pizza that this guy hands to you, but you get creeped out over the thought of him using your cell phone? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

I find that skinny people are [censored] pricks and are usually white trash who do nothing but meth. Is that a correlation? Or is that based on a couple of people I have seen and base that on everyone I see now...damn

If he came to the door with the actual pizza in his hands, I definintely would not eat it.

I'd just tell him I'm expecting a really important call that could happen any second now.

If you really don't want to let him, tell him you're out of minutes.

just wipe the phone off when he is done... I really don't see the big deal here. His sweat is not going to kill you! Stop being a [censored].

Don't be lame. Do the guy a favour, if it really bothers you just wipe the phone down with a cloth once he's gone.

if this bothers you just lie to him and say you have a cell with a phone-card and it's out of money
