If a random homeless persom approached you in public started a conversatoon with you, reached his/her hand out and wanted to shake hands, would you shake his/her hand?
I think it would depend on how dirty he/she might be. I work in the city and once encountered a man who had worms on his shoulders and collar. I spoke with him, but also kept distance between us.
However, I am a people-pleaser, in that I prefer to make people feel good or better whenever possible. I think I might feel uncomfortable refusing to shake hands, as I would not want to offend.
I am a compulsive hand-washer though. And it would only be one hand. That's not to say I am especially squeamish. I actually unclogged a toilet by hand once to prevent it from overflowing onto the floor. That was gross. It wasn't even my toilet. But, you know . . . you gotta to do what you gotta to do
It's hard to say what I might do. Hmm, I'm rambling now.
