handshakes i can handle. but when it comes to hugs, people execute them so quickly, you just don't have time to step back and say, i'm sorry, i don't hug gentlemen.
i mean, yea, people extend their right hands to shake yours and you can keep it behind your back and say, sorry, i don't shake hand with gentlemen.
but when they open their arms wide and just engulf you in a hug, what do you do? try to duck and step aside (under two seconds) while screaming, noooo!!! *grin* next time you see those people, you'll be sure to receive a hostile kick in your backside.
