Why do you expect that you have to do small talk?

I’ll shake their hands, but if I have to call them on the phone later? Fuuuuuck that.

Shaking hands and small talk? That’s my jam, the only issue would be realizing the passage of time and stopping the small talk.

I’ve got a bit of a motor mouth

Do we have to shake? I’m good for a few, but my hand is gonna slip at some point and then that person is gonna tell everyone else how bad I am at shaking hands. Also, don’t your hands get chapped doing that too much? I cook a lot, so I use my hands often. Should I wear gloves? Is that rude? Will they talk about that?
