Question:
One washes for bread at work and says al netilas yadayim. While walking to his desk etc., one is asked a question or approached by a supervisor, coworker, asked to step into someone’s office to look at something…. What is the appropriate response to avoid a hefsek and simultaneously avoid offending people?
Answer:
איזהו חכם הרואה את הנולד. One should take a piece of bread with him next to where he washes so that he can say המוציא immediately.
