My Pop always taught me to look the person your greetin straight in the eye and give a good firm handshake, like you mean it ! Man to Man !
Sorry, I just cant stomach this weak wristed crap, whats it all commin to ?
OK, Ill get off my soapbox now, just had to vent![]()
I guess I'm one who's afraid of a firm handshake, but for different reasons.
Back in college days I had the metacarpals of both my thumb and pinkie broken on my right hand, at different times...
In damp weather I fear I have a little arthritis.
Shaking hands with someone who views it as a squeezing contest, after I've worked in the cold rain like we've had for the last couple days is NOT a pleasant experience.
Still, I think we get carried away with the germ thing sometimes. Besides, I was always taught to wash my hands before I eat; seems like that would be more important.
