I'm hoping that this Covid-19 situation will finally kill the handshake. It's a great way to spread illnesses, and should be retired.

Please, no more drinking out of other people's glass or water bottle.

Another practice that needs to be retired is blowing out the candles on cakes and cupcakes. This is a great way to spread your germs all over food that will be shared with other people. Please, let's retire this tradition, too! :eew:

Growing up my one son literally would stop eating and lean over his plate if anyone came close to his chair during a meal. University & roomies broke him of this and many other OCD/germaphobe habits. He still triple checks if doors are locked but that is the only obvious behaviour he has left. He would LOVE if they stopped the handshake!
