I will admit I don't like shaking hands and when I'm in a
situation where I must I wash my hands as soon as posible. I have far too many times see people use the bathroom and not wash their hands and have seen them sneeze into their hands than shake hands. Yes maybe I'm a little OCD but I tend to not get sick very often. |

I only fist bump.....because Obama does it, so that means it's not only cool, but as fashionable as saying "Pok-ee-stahn"

I carry a little bottle of hand sanitizer for just such an occasion.
Every time I go to see my oncologist the receptionist either has allergies or is sick with a cold or something worse. As if on cue she will usually wipe her nose with the back of her hand then hand me a pen to check in with. I now carry a pen where ever I go just to avoid other people's cooties. |

People are fucking nasty, I don't blame you one bit.
My peeves: Not covering coughs/sneezes (or half ass covering them with their hand a foot in front of their face) Licking their fingers to separate paper. This is vile, disgusting behavior. Not washing hands after using restroom Washing hands but grabbing the door handle with bare hands (WTF did you not just see the guy in front of you) Apparently my desire to practice good hygiene makes me a germophobe. I've stopped protesting and have decided to embrace the label. |

The company I work for sells Purell hand sanitizer. We (occasionally) get surplus products, which through customer errors cannot be sold but are 100% good to go.
So I always have hand sanitizer at my desk, and I use that shit. Of course, a lot of the really nasty stuff (plus the good ole flu) are air born. |

They all claim that germs are everywhere and it builds your immune system. Yeah, no shit... but lets see you lick your fingers after touching an ebola victim. It will boost your immune system won't it? |

Hand shakes and neckties, two old traditions that need to go away.
|
|
I have a packet of hand sanitizer wipes stashed in my truck, briefcase, backpack, luggage, etc. I will shake someone's hand, but always feel the need to disinfect afterwards. I tour a lot of construction sites and meet a lot of people which I enjoy. Although, I always get a little sleeved out when I meet someone and they take off their glove to shake my hand. I know it's polite, but I'd honestly rather shake someone's dirty gloved hand then a damp sweaty hand fresh out of a glove.

The side pocket on my truck door? It has bottles of hand sanitizer, not water or whatever.
|

I have never read of so many pussies in one place besides Playboy Magazine.

I get a cold/cough/sore throat maybe once every 2-3 years...yea thanks, I'll keep doing it my way. Wash your fucking hands(you/me and them!).

Take it from someone who shook at least 500 hands this week with people from all over the globe Monday through Wednesday, and another couple hundred from around the US on Thursday of this week... pretty sure I'm gonna end up with tha Ebola

I try my best to avoid shaking hands and even sometimes telling people I am getting over a bug myself just to avoid it. At events where it is a must I run wash my hands as soon as possible. A tradition that needs to end!

I can't remember the last time I shook someone's hand or got sick. When I was working, all my co-workers were always shaking my hand, I hated it. I don't know what that hand was doing 5 minutes ago. But then again, I had no problem putting my tongue in some nasty places.

I loathe shaking hands.
Symbolic but worthless. Hand sanitizer in pocket. Dont touch eyes, mouth, or food with contaminated hand till washed. Stupid and unavoidable tradition. |

Seriously?
Do you put toilet paper on the damn seat before you take a shit too? I feel like I'm at a forum for middle age female preschool teachers. Man up. |

Don't touch door handles/knobs with your bare hands either. Pull your shirt down over your hands if you have something long sleeved, if not use a paper towel or wash you hands right afterwards before you bring your hands to your face.

Even if the disease doesn't kill you, there is the potential for lifelong, crippling sequelae. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile First of all, we're talking about handshakes, not bathing in raw sewage for your entire life. As far as recurrent epidemics, I read a study that claimed the Black Plague had a net positive affect on humanity as a whole. Those left alive were stronger than the pre-plague population, they had more resources, less competition, and better economic standard as well. Their children had a much higher life expectancy due to increased resources and decreased competition. It "culled the herd" for lack of a better term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequences_of_the_Black_Death#Social.2C_environmental.2C_and_economic_effects Now that's not an argument I'd make, I'm just pointing it out cause it's relevant to the conversation. |

After I have wiped everything, including the toilet seat, I put toilet paper down. If they had ass Lysol I would buy it and use it. |

I don't sit in their visible shit and piss but sometimes it happenes. Never had any major illness because of it.
Just make sure to wash my ass in the shower along with my legs. You guys are pathetic. Carrying around disinfectant wipes? Where do you fit those along with your two flashlights, three knives, mouthwash, and can opener on your everyday carry? |

Especially their sweaty hand from their work glove. Really? Wtf. I'm the first to admit it sounds like OCD. I've spent days recovering from the shits or a cold or a whatever from being exposed to something that has been somewhere. It sucks. Factor in the extensive travel, airport bathrooms, public anything, at the end of the day I'm a walking Petri dish. Trust me, I've been dirty and done my time in plenty of god awful places. It's likely the reason my guts are in a perpetual state of unease. So yeah, really, I don't enjoy shaking a filthy fucking hand that hasn't been washed since leaving a portal john that's been in the sun for a week used by 10-20 men. Many of which don't speak English and have god knows what else crawling through them. |

Shaking hands isn't the problem.
The problem is what you do with your hands afterwards. You could shake hands with a hundred people infected with all manner of communicable diseases - without becoming infected yourself - as long as you (1.) kept your hands away from your face, and (2.) washed them before handling anything else that comes in contact with your face. Hand-to-face contact is the problem. |
