Genelde hanımlar bu mesajı etrafa vermede bizden daha kibar oldukları için, bizim yaptığımız gibi kollarıyla bir boğma harekâtına girmek yerine, üzerinizden olmayan kepekleri silkelerler ya da ceketinizden hayali saçlar toplarlar.

Siz saf saf “Dün kafa üstü düştüm, dönüp bakmadı. Şimdi kravatımı düzeltiyor, değerimi anladı. Rabbime şükürler olsun!” diye düşünürken, o etrafa gerekli mesajı vermektedir.”
