compl3x Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 You won't believe you do it, but you do. After shaking hands with someone, you'll lift your hands to your face and take a deep sniff. This newly discovered behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas the Tank Engine Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I can tell you right now, I've never done that in my entire life after shaking someone's hand. SALSN and HoochieMamma 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doli Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I know I don't do this but now everytime I shake someone's hand I am going to think about this post. Gladiatorus 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomoko Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Shaking hands is gross enough already, I'm absolutely certain I have never sniffed my hand afterward. timster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SALSN Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Going to join in and say that I have never done this either. Didn't read the entire article, but in the video I just saw a lot of people scratching their face/nose, many of them with their LEFT hand, am I to believe that these people shook hands with their left hand? The deep sniff is also not obvious. I believe that scratching your face is also a sign of general mild uncomfortableness, that could otherwise be caused by the experiment. Or perhaps this is just my personal bias shining through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
