Filthy custom. Good riddance. Japanese got it right to bow. Too many fuckin times some asshole coming right out of the bathroom wants to shake hands and didn't even wash his hands, adjusting his piss stained crotch then reaches immediately out to shake hands and say "Hey buddy". He's no buddy of anyone, he's a sign that it's time to banish this disgusting tradition. Anyone touching me should be someone I know and trust or want to fuck.
