Why I don't shake hands.

Henceforth, if i refuse to shake hands with you, its my new policy, accept it. I realised that most famous men/women dont shake hands. No offense, its a principle. "Maybe its a secret to success and fame" oh well.... just maybe.

Some people dont shake hands because they believe you are up to some fetchish act, I was made to believe thats true. I have a colleague who refuses bluntly on shaking hands. She ensures every morning, mostly when people resume to work- she must have her two phones on each hands to avoid any direct contact - hand to hand. Smart decision I must say cause people just want to shake you especially men and even pick offence when you refuse. Must you shake me???? What value does this add to you.


Let's refer to famous men.... someone pointed that Queen Elizabeth II doesnt shake, british protol and for security reasons.

Donald Trump once blogged, "I think that the only thing better than a good handshake is no handshake at all. I’ve long said that handshakes are a bad idea because of all the germs people spread when they shake hands"
Sherren Leigh, Publisher of Today’s Chicago Woman magazine said, “I think it’s a disgusting, archaic habit, laden with germs,” she said. “I never put my hand out first. If a hand comes out, I will shake it.”
Don't get me wrong, there are some pleasant handshake you don't want to resist, infact, you find it an honour to receive them. This type could pass cause there are no negative intentions of any sort but mehnnnn?! germs na germs, its no respecter of any being.
