When you shake black man's hand ...

[Picard]

... that's of course if you are white ... does it always involve that 3x hand grasping gesture?

I always feel awkward if they go "all the way" and I seemingly then "abort" the courtesy half-way through the greeting, because I'm use to only clutching the other person's hand once.

 

[bromster]

Generally yes. And plan to hang on for a while too.

 

[Pooky]

Don't come here with your white tendencies AGENT

Shaking hands is the foulest thing ever. Gf is a microbiologist she took a swab of a random persons hand the amount of bacteria. So i generally avoid all forms of hand shake with any person.

But if your own hand is just as dirty as the other person's hand ... if doesn't make a real difference, does it?

... That logic is so flawed. I am comfortable with my own bacteria I am however not comfortable with someone else who did not bother to wash their hands after using the restroom. And I also use waterless hand sterilizer throughout the day im not a germaphobe I really just dont want someones ballsack sweat on my hands.

Oh you made a funny.

If its my gf it doesnt bother me, but strangers not a chance.

 

[RanzB]

You do seem like quote a germaphobe.

Also, how do you identify 'your' bacteria? Do they have names?

Actually had this experience today had to help out some guys from Neotel and got the 3 part handshake when they left.

Nice trolling.

If you like having someone else's gunk on your hands by all means go ahead. You mind as well go lick an escalator railing save yourself some trouble.

 

[biometrics]

Perhaps an "a" in the subject? :erm:

 

[Picard]

Can we please leave the germs out of this thread and get back to the topic at hand (no pun intended ... or maybe it is ).

It will make you stronger!

 

[RanzB]

If you are unable to differentiate what I mean. If you like having someone else's gunk on your hands by all means go ahead.

There's a huge difference between having someone else's 'gunk' (scientific term? Did your gf teach you that?) on my hands, and living normally and being able to shake a person's hand without breaking out into a cold sweat.

You mind as well go lick an escalator railing save yourself some trouble.

"Mind as well"? Lol. And I love licking escalator railings, it's a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Exactly. Keeping yourself shielded from everyday, normal bacteria is better than hiding from it all and being taken ill with something when a normally harmless bug gets you.

Be a man, dammit.

Rofl you clearly know nothing about bacteria, go read how harmless a staph infection can be.
