Order the quick-draw double holster, in case you're at a party......

And shaking a sweaty hand, cold, wet, fishy... is also really disgusting...

I have been in many bars where guys would want to shake hands

Do you touch any girls in those bars?

Do you think anybody else touched them before?

What is a higher risk?

I try not to touch the girls THERE.

If I at a pub, I'll go wash my own hands the next trip to the hong naam. 

I never wash my hands at a public rest room... I always assume my thing is much cleaner than the faucet.. at least I know where it has been and who might have touched it, as opposed to a public faucet..

Was in the restroom at a Tex-Mex restaurant in the States last year, peeing while holding my breath, before being seated....

 

Sounds from a stall that defy description, then a roll being yanked on repeatedly, then the door opened, a guy walked out, bypassed the sinks, and left.

 

I did too, except I wasn't wearing a cook's uniform.

I haven't used toilet paper for 30 years, it's a disgusting way to wipe your <deleted>. 

Not many here notice that Thais seldom use their left hands for touching other things/people.

No problem for me, I ignore foreigners.

If they say 'hello', I look the other way.

If you ever eat in a restaurant where food is cooked or prepared by a Thai....you see how they clean their a$$ with a dunk bowl and their fingers, with many other people touching it / using it. Shaking hands the least of ur problems lol

You need to change the class of restaurants you patronise.   How do you know what all Thai chefs do, anyway?

or just when in thailand follow the thai practice of a simple wai...seems to me they got it right and much more civilized and sanitary than the western handshakes...all the fist bumping and elbow bumping gets a bit goofy and awkward after a while IMO

Westerners using the wai to other westerners is even more goofy.

How about in the UK, people blow their snot on their handkerchief and stick in in their pocket?

Er, some may do that but, these days, I'd suggest that the majority don't, most wouldn't even know what a handkerchief is.

Speak for yourself.  Many people hate touching doorknobs/handles.  Worst is having to touch one to get out of the toilet, having just washed your hands.

But we still need to do it!

Clasped?  Isn't that grasping, as in griping something with the hands?  I think the wai would be hands pressed together, rather than clasped 

Yes Teacher Clasped  is Grasping, as in the Rright hand grasped the Left hand as seen many times  while working for a Japanese company, but this isnt about an English language lesson is it ? Oh by the way,    its "Gripping"  not "Griping" 

this isnt [sic]about an English language lesson is it ? Oh by the way,    its [sic] "Gripping"  not "Griping".

 

5555.  Seems as though you're making it an English lesson!  Oh, by the way, it's "right hand", not Rright hand".

Pandemic or no pandemic it looks ridiculous and, yes, I know what both of those words mean.   I've assimilated and integrated here for the last 27 years but, not being Thai, there's no way that I'd ever do anything as daft as to wai a foreigner which has nothing to do with assimilation or integration.

No, he was Mexican. I lived in Nayarit for years and you cannot even flush paper; it is tossed in a trash can next to the toilet. Some lack lids which only enhances the olfactory experience.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love Mexicans. Most are genuinely nice, and their houses are spotless and their clothes always smell of detergent. For the life of me, I cannot understand their thinking when it comes to toilet practices.

 

I have never had food poisoning in LOS. In Mexico, I lost count. One of the reasons I left.

Deliberately.   

 

You omitted the inverted commas from around that inverted comma.
