almost broke my fingers and told me that was how a man shakes another mans hand. It has stuck with me since then.

just FYI, everyone you meet thinks you're an a-hole

I hate the people who try and crush your hand when they shake it. Firm is okay, but squeezing tight is not.





A guy in my hometown used to do this. He was a very short man and I guess he wanted to show people how strong he was so he would crush your hand during a handshake. I thought it was hilarious.

Doing the finger grab - insecurity shake is bad. Limp fish is worse. but I sometimes accidentally grab fingers and immediately correct myself if I do.

My brother will a limp fish shake dude in his tracks, grab his forearm politely with his non-shaking hand and correct the whole shake and gives them a nod.

It was more of a cowboy killer broken hopes and dreams and I have made poor life choices smell.

Yeah, the ridiculously squeezed handshake is a favorite of the self-titled "entrepreneur" and other strivers. Firm, not aggressive.

Shitty, but not as awkward as a woman who squeezes too hard. I adjust the pressure of my handshake for a lady in a business setting, but this lady not long ago squeezed my hand like a beast. I was not ready for it AT ALL

That is annoying. The other one that makes me self conscious is when the other guy doesn't get to the palm and goes for the firm handshake. He therefore makes your fingers crumple and now you're thinking he's thinking you have a bitch hand shake.


I have an in-law that does this. He's a classic napoleon complex that's rude to most of his family and does an extremely quick and hard handshake

Yeah, Im not sure why they wouldn't half arse it. Its awkward if one is strong and the other feels like grabbing a dead fish. If both hands are like dead fish then its really weird, so might as well make both hands strong like bull.

fist bumps need to be accepted as the handshake replacement. I don't need to palm up with you, you probably just jerked off or scratched your arse and picked a booger.

When I shake hands, I gauge the person and then shake on the light side.

Lord help you if you try to squeeze my hand like a dumbass.

I'm not opposed to this. But I think headbutts are a better alternative.
