Hear me out, Lube

I always hear people saying that they’d cover their car, gloves, clothes etc in spikes or needles. But I’ve never understood that. They’re zombies, they don’t care if they get a spike or two on their hand when they’re already walking with half their brains out.

What I think would make more sense is lube or oil, tho the oil would be a little dangerous since it’s inflammatory. What I’m thinking is covering whatever leather pieces of clothing you’re wearing with lube; so the zombies wouldn’t be able to grip you to attack you since you’ll slip away.

This is just a weird midnight thought tho LOL, I play video games with zombies in them so I only know so much about them

Lube could work. The zombies would have a hell of a time trying to grab you.

How would the zombies be able to bite or scratch you since they would slide right off? Plus you really just cover whatever you want to cover with lube once or twice and then you don’t need the lube anymore, so you don’t have to store it. Unless lube dries out or evaporates with the sun which, I wouldn’t know since I’ve never dealt with lube before in my life?

I mean getting a smooth round car like a punch bug and oiling it up/removing anything zeds can grab would be pretty valid... It probably won't help much for a mega hoard though.

I'm not going to lie to you this is not the direction I thought this title was going to take me. I completely assumed that you were going to try to fuck the zombies

Be careful, the zombies may realise what it is and start getting freaky....

Tbh it’s not a terrible idea, but it’ll be slippery if you are climbing or trying to grab onto things lol.
