Otherwise there is no good reason to refuse a handshake. Carry antibacterial lotion with you if you have a germ phobia. The H1N1 scare is not reason to toss proper etiquette out the window!</p>Etiquette GuyEtiquette Guymale59answer4.0Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:25:19 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Hands_etiquette_society_culture_504176483910519/reason_refuse_handshake_example_350707381606246?src=rss:qb:qbihttp://yedda.com/questions/Hands_etiquette_society_culture_504176483910519/children_commercials_agent_taught_627881434373038?src=rss:qb:qbi<p>When my children were doing commercials, their agent taught them to not shake hands by moving past the extended hand and touching the offeree's shoulder or arm with a friendly pat and greeting.  They will usually pat your arm or shoulder back and not take any offense.  </p>Ms WiseMs Wisefemale31answer4.0Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:54:36 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Hands_etiquette_society_culture_504176483910519/children_commercials_agent_taught_627881434373038?src=rss:qb:qbi
