Anyone else sick of seeing...

[Charade]

[rant on]

the new "handshake"? You know, the one where you hit knuckles to knuckles. I'm tired of seeing it on Deal or No Deal. I just watched Ed Bradely of 60 minutes do it several times with Tiger Woods during an interview. Ugh!

I know that Howie Mandel is a true germaphobe. He has been profiled about it before on newsmagazines, etc. So he does it to avoid the germs. I don't know if it is Ed Bradley's reason or not, though. Or maybe it might be Tiger? Or maybe it's just cool?

 

[sajetto]

Ugh...yeah I've seen it...too much

 

[Stacerita]

Im sick of seeing people do it who are doing it just because they see other people doing it. Trying to copy-cat cool.

Augh, my brother taught my kids to do a high five, the knuckle thing and then knock elbows(we're big Yankee fans and the Yankees did it) and now my son has to do a hug, kiss, high five, fist, elbow every night before bed. @@

I only have one friend I do that handshake with. I'd never done it until I met him. Of course, now I usually do the handshake and then hug him. But the first time, I was like, what the heck is he doing?? I am so uncool.

LMAO

Count your lucky stars though, just think how bad it COULD be. He COULD have to do a hug, kiss, high five, fist, elbow, and hipcheck, headbutt every night before bed!!

My gf told me that. How did he ever become a game show host?

Now I'm seeing THE handshake from the Parent Trap!!

Beats me, but this has been a "thing" with him for a long time...

Maybe he does is because he can do the knuckle bump thing.

I was really surprised to see him holding one the contestant's baby a week or so ago. I thought that the germs there would freak him out, but evidently they didn't.

(or stupid you pick but, please be kind)

 

[BethR]

Oh THE HAT! You are sooooo bad! (And maybe the correct term is "fist bump?" )

I thought my DS's hug, kiss, high five deal for everytime we say goodbye to him was a little crazy....I guess I really am lucky, huh?

 

[SPAM]

i saw him on regis and kelly and regis asked him about the whole germaphobe thing with the show and the only thing was mentioned was that people knew not to hug him. i bet the knuckle thing is okay, its not that much contact.

Marc Sommers (from Double Dare on Nickelodeon back in the day) suffers from severe OCD. He had/has major germ issues too. So it happens.
