Boo. I much prefer fist bumps. I wish it would become mainstream in the adult world. I like to shake hands with people I do business with, but I also hate touching peoples' dirty friggin hands. How do I know you didn't just scratch your balls with that hand?

I shake hands often, but afterward, I'm on the lookout for an opportunity to wash my hands. Yeah. Your hands = gross.

Example, here's a PM I sent somebody:

"I had to delete your post. While I do see the humour, I'm sure you can also see how it isn't appropriate.

Cheers
Ken"

By using "Cheers" in place of "Thanks" I still got the thanks message across, and the person receiving it knows that I was making a positive comment.

Another example; as an IT Support person:

"I have restored all of the folders that you deleted.

Cheers
Ken"

In that case, they are not getting a "thanks" from me- they caused me some extra work. But I'm not upset. So "Cheers" is also an appropriate salutation.
Yeah, you tried to sound all nice after giving me an infraction by signing off with cheers.



I never greet in an email. Straight to the point. No hello, no name acknowledgement, nothing. Body of the email, and always signed with my initials. Anyone that's ever recieved more than that should feel special because I give no exception to anyone. I don't care if you're the lawyer for my murder trial or the hottest women I've ever met. No hello, no thanks. Body of email, initials.
