Who just walks up and shakes someone’s hand they don’t know?

Just not as much worry about whether or not the person you're approaching has a weapon in hand anymore. Give it time, it'll come back around.

Why is shaking someone’s hand a dirty practice but talking face to face with a person is not?

People go around shaking random people's hands? Better LPT is leave strangers alone and don't approach someone you don't know.

Only Canada and across the USA. Still don't talk to strangers. Have your parents taught you nothing?

At best you showed your ignorance and immaturity.

Because it's not really all that safe to go randomly up to strangers and shaking/fist bumping them?

Pretty lame reply from someone that doesn't know the difference between incite and insight.

If a stranger slides something in your hand please don’t just pocket it, look them in the eye and say loudly enough fir someone to hear “what is this and why did you hand it to me?”

I haven't shaken hands with a person in about 3 years. I love it.

Even better LPT: don’t shake hands. You want my business? Fist bump me.

If I want your business? It ain’t on the streets.

Yea. No shaking hands in Japan, Germany, Mexico, nor Canada, mate. What’s your point?

I guarantee my business ain’t on the streets if there’s business to be done.

So, again, what’s your point? Because my point is this- don’t shake hands on the streets when there’s business to be done.

What world do we live in where it is better to raise a fist than an open hand in greeting?

I love letting people tie “free” bracelets on my wrist.

I want you to understand how much time I have to sit here and fuck with you, sir. You can either give me my bracelet for free or listen to my fucking 35 minute story about why I don’t have 4 euro.

The choice is yours.
