Hey Obama, Learn Handshake Etiquette
I hate to shake hands because I am a germaphobe. In a business setting, I will shake hands if it is absolutely necessary but panic until I can wash my hands. Otherwise, I will conveniently have something in my right hand to avoid it.
My husband and my dad both know handshake etiquette. In my adult life I have noticed that 99% of men do not know this rule. When meeting a woman, the man waits for her to extend her hand. It is up to her if she wants to shake hands.
Obama is clearly oblivious to this rule. When he met the Queen of England he offered his hand first breaking the handshake etiquette rule. Then pulled a second no-no and cupped her hand with his left while shaking her hand. Doesn’t everyone know that you do not touch the Queen?
He should have done a lot more research before he embarrassed the entire country on his first international trip. I guess we are lucky that she didn’t get a high five or his infamous fist bump.
