I prefer not to shake hands or other touching in that respect.
I wash my hands often throughout the day, especially if I've been in public.

Depends on what I do or where I go, and access to doing so.
Two, three times at least.
I don't do any of those.

@MrLizard Nope.
Originally, the shaking of hands was to show there was no weapon, then became a formal greeting. It also was used in making deals. Fist bumps, I think were started by gangs then made its way into the music industry, from there it was adopted by germaphobes as an alternative to handshakes and high fives. High fives began with kids to celebrate then spread to the masses.

Well put!!
a handshake comes from times when people carried weapons a lot and is a sign of trust. from being sectioned in my case anyway, I found a fist bump something the staff did rather than shake my hand.

A handshake could be considered more formal, whereas the other two are more casual.

Depends on what movie people have seen recently.

Hand shake is more intimate . Fist bump is for germophobes . High fives are definitely a celebration
