Does anyone in your life gently pat themselves with a towel when they're sweating, like characters consistently do in the movies?

I don't think I've ever seen someone do this IRL.

It's the mannered, gentle patting I'm specifically asking about. When I see it in films it just feels so phony.

Yeah, I feel like I do that with paper towels tho

It would look more phony if they swiped normally, and suddenly half their face was a different color.
