Damn this silly tradition. I was at a business conference today where they give away all sorts of trinkets (squeeze balls, pens...etc.). The best one BY FAR was hand santizer.

Don't shake a hand, till you know where it's been.

Hell, I don't even know where mine have been.

Honestly? You're not the least bit creeped out by shaking hands with someone who's been shaking hands with hundreds of other people all day...people who have been shaking hands with hundreds of others...etc? It was like a friggin' hot zone. Next time I'm wearing a biohazard suit.

I still say never shake hands in a mens room.

You'd look odd looking at a proffered hand intently, wondering where it's been. It'd be just plain rude as well.

You'd look pretty silly laying on your deathbed with tuberculosis too. The tombstone reading "he was polite" would hardly be any consolation.

I'd be satisfied. 😛

Seriously though, shaking hands isn't that big of a deal, just don't lick your hands or something afterwards.

Stink palm them! Put your hand in your butt cheeks then shake hands.

You walk into someone's office - you take the hand proffered.
I hate parties, seminars etc. where there are anything more than 5 people who want to shake your hand. Also, you get all their names as you shake, but I forget every name right after I get the next guys' name. I end up remembering the last 2 names...

Yeah, that does suck. I also hate those real loose and limp handshakes. Or when they just grab the end of your fingers too.

I hate those guys who try to crush the life out of your hand like some macho test or something.
Actually it's only happened to me once, I think (ex-girlfriend's father), but I felt like saying "what the f are you doing man?".
