[quote=briansd1][quote=njtosd]briansd1 – is there something wrong with your immune system or are you OCD? It’s got to be one or the other.[/quote]
A mild case of OCD. I’m a perfectionist and want everything clean. Some people I don’t to shake hands with, but I’m obliged to when they extend their hands.
I like the kisses the way the French and Italians do it.[/quote]
No you don’t.
From a sicilian such as myself it can either mean the deepest of friendships or…
Bacia di mort!
This can leave the kissee confused and fearful.
Better to just shake hands.
That being said… You sound a bit OCD if you feel the need to wash you hands afterward.
I on the other hand believe in a firm handshake. Not to hard… Don’t want to alpha dog the guy… and not to soft either… don’t want the person to have the idea I am a softy.
