You are walking down the street, suddenly you see someone you haven’t seen in at least a year. You stop, he/she stops and he/she lunges into you for a hug, and the obligatory pat on the back. Why?
What happened to: “Hi” or “What are you doing here?” or even the most annoying: “OH MY GOD!” (This is done while holding their solar plexus with 2 fingers.)
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE HANDSHAKE?
It used to be nice, a handshake. Even the little lie: “Good to see you!” (Yeah, and to think we haven’t spoken to each other in at least a year.)
Of course, the above-mentioned scenario is unlikely these days because; a) there’s a cell phone or I-pod connected to the ear, or b) you don’t make eye contact for fear of meeting in the first place.
Am I ranting again? You bet.
How did the hug start? Is this a replacement for the handshake, a greeting upgrade? To purchase Greeting II Upgrade version 1.0.2, you must own Greeting I version 1.0.
Wish there was a program to rid this blog of its insipid writer? Too bad.
