I know that cheek kiss is a common form of western greeting and I've grown quite accustomed to that. Sometimes I do get deviations from the norm, like a direct kiss on the cheek as a greeting, which is a stretch of my comfort zone but still generally acceptable.
However, the greeting I've received today totally threw me off. I abhor, detest and am absolutely repulsed by people who leave a wet residue of you know what on my cheek.
YUCK.
And the people around me who still practice this lip-to-cheek greeting are often grandfather figures.
YUCK YUCK YUCK! (If it's my grandpa, it's ok, but not other old men)
I know I shouldn't blame them for their drooling problem but still, the practice disgusts me and I feel this strong impulse to tell them to please keep to normal cheek-touching-cheek greeting for hygiene sake.
Gosh, everyone knows that I look, dress and talk CONSERVATIVE. So can't they keep to a handshake or a wave?
Right now I just want to throw up and purge that horrible feeling out of my system.
