I actually don't mind being touched by stangers. I don't mind if the waitress puts her hand on my shoulder when I'm ordering my meal. I don't mind if a man puts his hand on the small of my back as he excuses himself past me in a crowd. I really don't even care if an overzealous hockey fan behind me at the game musses my hair in his excitement over a goal scored by our team.
BUT what does bother me is shaking hands with people every time I see them again. I think people in general are dirty and do not wash their hands nearly enough. I think it's a terrible ritual Americans have adopted. We pass germs by just saying hello. The Japanese seem to understand this. I wish we would. I still shake hands with people but it drives me crazy.
I don't know where this puts me in the minds of others. I don't mind people touching me, I don't mind touching other people, I just don't like touching your hand every time I see you. I don't think I'm a germ freak...but I suppose I am.
...sorry, bit of tangent
