Shaking Hands (The Handshake)

[mdr55]

Does anyone else get pissed off when people give you the perception they don't want to shake your hand? When you go to give them the handshake, they stick out their hand flat like a robot, no grip and no movement. It's like I'm shaking hands with a fish.

Or they'll shake your hand but they'll squeeze your hand real tight like they want to break your hand off.

Sometimes I'll give the "Ghetto" handshake (don't know what to call it) but it's a whole lot of movements. You shake hands, grip at the thumbs, slap hands side to side, high fist-low fist and sometimes an elbow to cap it off.

What style of Handshake do you have???

(Place YOUR AD here) Call now!

Stick out hand, grasp other person's hand firmly, movement up and down twice (no more than that) release said hand....just like a man should!!!

It's like I'm shaking hands with a fish.yes, that is the worst! i am not a big handshaker, but if i go on an interview or something like that, there's really no alternative. it's just rude for an interviewer to stick out their hand to shake yours, and then give you the dead fish shake. it should be part of their job training to learn how to shake properly.

I met Mayor Bloomberg at a Yankee Game last year, and the man shook like a dead fish. He came across completely unimpressive. And left the game in the first inning.

Guiliani took the seats about a half hour later and it was completely different. He came across as an actual leader.

Hilarious pic, Tall James!!

Reminds of that old gimmick in wrestling matches when the bad guy offers to shake hands, and then the good guy or jobber always checks with the audience, who always tell him not to do it. He goes to shake hands anyway, and winds up getting hit for it.

And it's funny every time I see it!!!
