I have not. Now that I think of it, we both saw a Japanese or Korean
show on TV that had a woman doing this odd behavior. We thought it was
the funniest thing. It's for those jobs where a full paper napkin is
too much.

I'm always cleaning and wiping stuff at work. Most people would use a
full sheet of Kleenex but that's too much. I installed a toilet paper
roll holder under my desk and use one sheet at a time. It sounds
ridiculous but it works brilliantly.
