You know that television commercial where this guy is at work and everything he touches turns to skittles? Why is it his clothes also don't turn to skittles and by that effect, wouldn't there be a rapid chain reaction which would ultimately cause the Earth itself to become a massive ball of skittles?
These are the questions that plague me.

Much like the prospect of Hillary as president...it's just best not to think about it George.

Because he doesn't ever touch his clothes with his hands.

Are we clear that it has to be his hands, because I wasn't sure they made that apparent?
They didn't specifically say it was only his hands. But then, if touching things with the rest his body had the same effect, his clothes would turn to Skittles. So that seems clear to me. Maybe the Skittle receptors are only on his hands. That seems reasonable to me.
Unlike when people are phase shifted or sent to another dimension. They can see everyone and everything here but can't touch anything. They try to pick things up, but their hands go right through the objects. And then they find they can't open closed doors, but they can walk through them and/or other structures such as walls. However, somehow, they don't fall through the floor to the center of the earth. Now that doesn't make sense.

There is still another problem with the idea that the skittle receptors are only on his hands which I'm just having trouble getting by. How did this guy get himself dressed? All of the clothes would turn to skittles as he tries to pick them up with his hands. If someone else dressed him, still we are dealing with a very delicate procedure. Ideally the hands would have to have a protective covering during the process, however, the covering would likely also become skittles. But perhaps there is some material unknown to us, the casual viewer which can survive a reconstructive attempt by the skittle receptors?
I agree with your comments on being phase shifted or sent to another dimension. It appears to be a major contradiction. However, now hear this one out:
What if the body/matter from the source dimension achieves a new physical state in the new dimension? And perhaps the foreign material acts more as cloud of charged particles. Likely having a much higher negative charge it would be drawn to large objects such as the earth or floor.
Now why can they go through walls, but they don't fall through the floor? I'm not really certain. But I would guess that it is actually ignorance of the dimension intruder. There are probably qualities of the process of remaining on top of the floor in the new dimension that are vastly similar to the process in the old dimension. Both are involuntary activites. Perhaps it is the notion of the objects and further more the walls as "free standing" that suspends the foreigner's recognition that they can use the different charge of their mass so that they do not fall through the object. Now I'd suspect that picking up or moving an object in the foreign dimension would require immense quantities of energy that the visiter would not know how to acquire or use. Wheras resting on the floor comes naturally. Perhaps the notion of the floor as free standing could be really damning to a visiter if it were realized. The floor would then become just another piece of matter they have difficulty relating to.
I do have to point out... to support my theories.... that most of the time, the chain of the discovery is as follows:
A: I can't interact with anyone, I can't pick up things.
B: I can walk through walls.
So it is my theory that the mind, being somewhat a complex interaction of charges holds certain involuntary power over external experiences. However as more is learned about the properties of an alien environment, the mind's abilities begin relying more on acquired information as opposed to intrinsic, burried information that can only be accessed subconsiously or with knowledge of it.
In this circumstance perhaps a certain level of ignorance COULD be bliss.
Thoughts?
