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
