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.
