I know cool starry brah....

We have a new neighbor that moved up here from Tennessee. We drove over to introduce ourselves and bring a welcome gift..... They wouldn't shake our hands because, ya know... Covid.


WTF?!!

Of all the things to be offended about, this is very low on the list.

Maybe you’re just nasty?

But he could have at least offered a fist bump. Or elbow tap.

This thread is stupid. They don't have to shake your dirty arse hands if they don't want to. They've probably heard that you don't wash your hands after you take a shite.

Very welcoming of you! Shaking hands will be relegated to the dung heap of history. I don’t wear a mask unless asked to but I’m not going to force someone to shake my hand.

To be honest I never was a big handshaker before Covid. To many nasty people out there. I would just give a thumbs up or a fist bump.

There are a lot of covid precautions that don’t make sense and/or are over blown. Not shaking a stranger’s hand is probably the most sensible and least invasive/inconvenient of the measures taken.

Fist bump I get. But you give a thumbs up in lieu of a handshake? What a weirdo.

No handshakes is one of very few good things to come from the pandemic. Handshakes spread viruses and have always been unsanitary.
Sanitation good.

Not for me. It’s too ingrained in my behavior. It’s a formal way to greet someone- especially at the initial introduction. I won’t force anyone to do it, but I judge them for their reluctance. I immediately know they are inferior to me and are treated/considered so accordingly thereafter.

Yeah kinda. Especially pre-Covid.

“Hey, this is my buddy, Dave.”
I reach out to shake Dave’s hand.
Dave: *thumbs up*

Bunch of anti-social turds in this thread

Shake hands with people and give hugs to those you care about.

so you bring people gifts with a preconceived view of how they should respond? And if and when they don't respond as such, you come and bitch about it here on the internet? Sounds healthy.

All the “I was never really into shaking hands to begin with” folks - you have to wonder where these people come from.
