1.5 to two pumps, tops. 3 pumps is way excessive. Serioulsy. Even if it's your best friend who you haven't seen in 7 years. Nobody does three pumps except for timeshare salesmen.

32 years that might be a record. Ur bills might be cut in half getting rid of that dinosaur. How old is ur fridge? Does it still have frost on the sides?
how bouts when they tickle your palm when you are shaking their hand. I have buddies that will do it as a joke and it always creeps me out
I sure hope it cuts the bill! Nothing else is old like that; it's original to the house! :scared
I'm a fan of the 2-pump handshake.
I hate the dead fish handshake too.
There's a guy at church (Joker will know who I'm talking about) who always carries his Bible in his right hand. When you go to shake his hand, he presents his LEFT hand, and it's a major sweaty dead-fish. I never shake his hand when I greet him unless he offers it first. No thanks!
Just watched the "Kiss Hello" episode of Seinfeld :mj07: How many of you guys do kiss hellos or hugs? I'm a big hugger with the women-folk and kids and sometimes for guys if I haven't seen them for a long time and I think highly of them. I never hug though if I get the vibe that the other person is not a hugger. If they aren't a hugger or I don't know them well enough, I'll give them a pat on the shoulder. That sure got me in trouble with Amanda at Belterra, so now I'm cautious and look for absence of limb first. kurby
Where I live seems to be more of the norm, lot's of "Rainbow Warriors" out here. The best Chinese restaurant in town is packed with the "Liza Minelli" Fans at Happy Hour. That's how I get free drinks :SIB kurby

:mj07: Don't even get me started on handshakes. I've always called that one the "Charmed, I'm sure," because it reminds me of the way a southern belle would shake your hand. Others that I hate:
The "Vice grip" -- yeah, a firm handshake is good, but within reason. Some guys are trying to way too hard to overcompensate for something with their handshake. Yeah, we get it pal, you think you're a badass.
The "One pump" -- this one always throws me off. I'm expecting the standard 3-pump, but instead I get a one-pump so I'm left shaking a lifeless hand after that first pump.
The "Dead fish" -- You think it's going to be a regular handshake at first, but the other person barely does any shake at all. You're the only one shaking (I see this one from women a lot, for whatever reason). Bonus points if the person has clammy hands.
I have a friend who does a combo of the Vice grip and the One pump. Shaking his hand drives me up the frigging wall...

People not washing hands is what makes the bro-hug socially acceptable. At the golf outing, Jack and gmroz get a handshake. . . kosar gets a bro-hug. . . just sayin'
The first job I ever had was as a busboy/dishwasher in a restaurant (eat your hearts out). One of the cooks had the same shift I did, and he would ALWAYS drop a deuce in the bathroom right before his shift. He never washed his hands afterwards, and would immediately go to work and start cooking when he was done. I think this (and other nasty things) happens in restaurants a lot more than people realize.
