Will handshaking become a thing of the past?

[worsleyweb]

Post covid? I was thinking about this today and I can see this happening. People have quickly got used to not shaking hands and I can see in a more germ conscious world even post covid that it will not return to the previous extent and young people in particular will see it as an older persons thing?

Any thoughts?

I am showing my age here but I am just about old enough to remember pinching of an arse being borderline accceptable?? Not that I ever did it.

Quite possibly. Not sure I’ll miss it much though.

No. As soon as things can go back to normal, society will grasp that opportunity to do all the things we used to do both literally and metaphorically with both hands. Covid will become endemic and our immune systems will adapt to it eventually and a couple of years from now it'll be something we've all moved on from. We crave contact as a species. It's only natural we'll end up doing something like that again. I even missing shaking hands tbh. People still awkwardly don't know how to say hello and kinda stand there and wave now. No way that'll be the norm IMO.

Anything is better than that elbow nonsense.

Before my time mate, I’ve heard it went on though, I’ve found the blokes just give you a funny look, clearly in some sort of denial, still fancy that pint ;-)
