I really don't even care if an overzealous hockey fan behind me at the game musses my hair in his excitement over a goal scored by our team.
BUT what does bother me is shaking hands with people every time I see them again. .......
I took off the end of your statement but this is what my position is also. If the hand on my shoulder appears to be a threat it would be totally different but the friendly touch of a hand is totally acceptable. The handshaking thing could disappear - But look at what they do in other countries - I ain't goin' for the kissin' bit!
