Grinds my Gears: Holding Hands in Church


You know how we hold hands with other people in church during the Our Father? Generally people keep their hands somewhere between bicep to shoulder level, and at the end, we raise them to eye level. Well some people hold their hands above the shoulder at the beginning, like ear level. This makes me tired, and when the part comes to raise your hands, we barely raise our hands because ear level is so dang close to eye level. I'm thinking mudabitch, you want to start above the shoulders, I will make you finish above the head!

lmao, i can just picture you saying mudabitch with a evil grin as you raise your hands above your head!

i've gotten used to allowing the person whom i'm holding hands with (usually shorter) to keep there hands at their own comfort level, leaving me somewhere around my lower to mid abs area. leaves both parties happy =]

Since I was on your left during Sunday Mass, I can tell it was the person on the right. My hands never go above the shoulder. What is worst is holding someone's else sweaty palm through Our Father.

Also, what is with the hand squeezing at the end. I've notice a few people like to do this, is it a sign of "hey it's over, stop holding my hand" or "let's see who have a stronger hand grip".

LOL Khoa.. I've never thought about the meaning of the squeeze, but now that I think about it, I've always taken the squeezing as a form of close friendship.
