What Is The Alternative To Handshake? by ChiSun27(m): 7:19pm On Oct 20, 2013
Sincerely from my heart...I want to stop shaking people...the stuff I saw yesterday actually wanted to make me regurgitate. It was quite appaling to the eyes.

Saw someone yesterday sneezing and blowing catarrh with his bare hands and afterwards rubs the hands together.

And I was like, "sheeeey this guy go still carry this hand go shake person".

So since that yesterday...I have been finding it difficult shaking peeps.

My question is; how can one avoid hand shakes?

of cause he can. The "Tuale" sign is an alternative. Cos i rarely shake hands. My grandma brought me up that way.

So if I stretch out my hand to you for a handshake, what will you do?

don't u think it's disrespectful to shake an elderly person? What i do is give them my back to pat. I politely tell them "Ah Sir na ur pikin i be oo" and then bend for them to pat my back.

You can shake all hands no biggie..

Just make sure you don't pick your own nose nor put your hands in your mouth or into any other of your body orifices until you have had them washed. That way you won't be transferring germs from any one you shake into yourself.

It means that, when outside, you do not eat with your hands. You use a fork or spoon.

when you get back, the first thing is to use an antiseptic or a normal soap to wash your hands.

You can also have an antiseptic gel in your bag. It kills 99.9% of germs and it does not even require the use of water..You can use it on your hands after every handshake..you may start to look like a freak though.
