I will NOT tap Simpson house lol

whats the etiquette behind not tapping the simpson house?

I had to learn this from the forums too as it's not part of the game's tutorial. The simpsons house regenerates in 45 seconds. Clicking ANY high payout building before the owner has a chance to resets the clock on that building for them. So if they're, say, asleep or at work you can save them up to 8 hours on another big payout. They then get your handshake's payout and if you did it 8 hours before them on a 12 hour payout building, their next payout is only 4 hours away, instead of the normal 12.

Also, graffiti is the only way you can make these buildings pay out for them.

Now I ask you, would you regenerate a 45 second house ever again?

I understand this rationale, and try to tap high-value buildings when I visit friends, but I'm not 100% convinced that it always works this way. Example in my own town: I clicked today on a handshake over my church after not having been in TSTO for several hours. After clearing it, I tapped again on the church, but it still showed needing the full time until the next payout. In fact, I don't ever remember tapping on a handshake and then having that building having an accelerated payout. Maybe I'm just missing it or misunderstanding, but wanted to bring it up.
