Servers With Primary Hyperhidrosis...ICK!

Due to being on weight watchers, I thought to myself today.... "let's walk up to the local Greek Restaurant and have some dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves). Instead of getting it to-go, I decided to treat myself and dine in with a table next to a window. When I was greeted by the server, I was horrified!!! The guy was sweating from head to toe as if he just ran from Greece to wait on me.

The server, Damasko, was very pleasant, but the sweat just dripped down his face and neck. He kept wiping himself with his sleeve and hand. I couldn't help but think "if one drop hits my table, me or my food, I am going to go Postal on Mr. Parthenon!"

After a few moments of pondering on whether this is really how I wanted to enjoy my lunch, I changed my mind and said I needed to go. I paid for my drink and then went to the host and ordered my food for take out. Fortunately, Damasko was so busy, he didn't even notice I was still in the restaurant waiting for my food. Thank God he wasn't going to touch my food! SHEW! (wiping my dry forehead from relief)

I came home immediately and looked this disorder up!! Did you know those that sweat profusely and uncontrollably regardless of the situation, have what is known as Primary or Secondary Hyperhidrosis? I swear that in every concept and every state there is always that ONE waiter that has this disorder. The unfortunate thing is... they always FIND MY TABLE!!!!

So the next time you see one of your fellow co-workers sweating while sitting down in an air conditioned room, recommend they check out Hyperhidrosis! It can be socially devastating to have sweat as your natural force field against others!!!

By the way, the dolmathes were great... not too salty! LOL
