Hey, how about we all start admitting that handshakes are creepy, forced physical contact and a gross imposition.

No, I'm not a germaphobe! It's just weird, bruh! ๐Ÿคจ

@Yuriel I believe that the handshake arose as a way of demonstrating that you were not carrying a sword or knife in you hand, most people are right handed so we shake right hands. This is a theory I heard many years ago, obviously this does not apply now.
@aadeacon Imma have to start yelling at people "I AM CARRYING NO BLADED WEAPONRY, PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH ME!" as I see them coming towards me, from now on. 

@Yuriel yup. esp. as they are frequently used as a power play. overhand. too tight. too long.

hugs even worse. please get out of my personal space. i don't know you.

@pavsmith Thankfully, I'm dry and cold enough towards annoying extroverts that they never get the urge to get that close. ๐Ÿ˜…

But yeah, hard agree.

@Yuriel fist bump or finger guns are my go to for people I know. Everyone else gets a nod.

If they attempt a handshake anyway they get a perplexed look and an awkward low-five.

I have found that around boomers standing with hands in pocket or behind my back prevents most attempts at handshaking.

@Yuriel God, I fucking hate them.

There's always the thing that you should have a good firm handshake but then you get the assholes who look at it as some kind of contest and try to crush your hand in a pathetic act of social dominance.

@retrosponge Yeah, I'm making a list and carving each of their names on a bullet for those fuckers. ๐Ÿ˜ก
@Yuriel I've never been able to stand them either.
