:bravo: Yep! Ever see a man blow his nose without using tissues? And I know people don't always wash after peeing/pooping. And why do I have to let strangers touch me?? Its an archaic tradition and I don't want to do it!!! :soapbox:
I agree. It is a nasty custom and everyone expects us to do it. Cleanliness is very important to me, and that is one of the reasons why I don’t like to shake hands. Germs are everywhere, and the average person has an immune system that is destroying harmful pathogens everyday. Money is the dirtiest thing in the world, and most of us touch it everyday. The best thing that people can do is keep their immune systems healthy and wash their hands on a regular basis. I would prefer if the handshake was replaced with the bow that is common in some Asian cultures. The handshake should be reserved for friends, families, and anyone that is trying to attract a sexual partner.
