Comment Better than kisses. (Score 1) 144
If handshakes give you issues try living in Argentina where you are expected to kiss everyone. Every time anyone new is within introducing distance you're supposed to kiss them - I am talking about guys. I've nearly fallen over trying to negotiate a handshake while avoiding the kiss of some dude who happens to have happened by and knows someone that I was with. And it's anywhere - at home, in a club, in the street. My house mate's brother in law is actively unfriendly towards me because I don't kiss him hello - which if I did would be several times a week, just because I happen to be in the house when he arrives regularly. Man, when I get back to Australia I am going to enjoy whatever terrible handshakes come my way just knowing that my three day growth doesn't have to be rubbed by someone else's.
