I always hated this crap. It started about 15 years ago for some reason and everyone wanted to get on board.
First off I don’t need to draw attention to myself. From the looks of most of the participants, they should avoid drawing attention to themselves, or at least cover up the garish tattoos.
On the second point, I don’t want to hold anyone else’s hand. Too many people are scratching, nose picking, poor hand washing pigs and that is just my kids and I. I have enough problems with the ‘sign of peace’ some yokel always feels it is necessary to run up and down the aisles glad handing like he is running for County Sherriff. Enough already, a nod and a smile is all that is needed. If you sit up at the front row, normally no one is by you s a nod and smile is all that is needed. Ignore the glad hander.
I don’t want to hold hands or have people trying to kiss each other.
