Advantages to the FB
There are some advantages to the Fist Bump compared to the handshake
- The reduced germ swapping effect
- Can be done with either hand . It does not really matter if you do this with left or right hand as suppose to the handshake that should be done with your right hand. So for those who can’t tell the difference between left and right - the fist bump saves you!
- If you’re wearing gloves, no need to remove those before bumping. A handshake with gloves does not feel right.
- For people with arthritis or other painful joint problems in their hands do not fear to get their hand squeezed to hard.
- Can be done sitting down. A handshake makes you want to stand up.
- Ever met that guy who have taken a firm handshake into the category of a “death grip”. Your hand feels like it is caught in a vise-grip and all you can think of is “when will he let go”, you won’t even remember his name. Well, with a fist bump those guys are now harmless.
- more will be added soon
Any suggestions appreciated.
