annoying

[SixFive]

Guy just came in to measure for a new heating and cooling system that I need since my current one is 32 years old. I reach out to shake his hand and introduce myself, and he gives me the SHORT SHAKE. You know, when the other guy grips about the first 2 inches of your fingers and then grips down? The SHORT SHAKE. Hate it.

: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...

I am switching to bowing - you know, like the asians.

I have a friend with clammy plams and whenever he comes around me and another buddy of mine clinch our fist and offer him the dab before the mofo puts us in a uncomfortable position :mj07:

Three pumps is standard?

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

Three pumps is standard?

It's not? :shrug: Maybe that's just a West Coast thang? We typically just do bro hugs out here, anyway.

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

How many pats with the brohug? I got one for both the handshake and the brohug

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

Typically two pats out here on the brohug. And they have to be very quick pats, with the hand outstretched.

Three pumps is standard?

That's what I was wondering too :mj07:

I've been doing it wrong? :scared Maybe the people I've been shaking hands with are writing similar posts about dumbasses who do a three-pump handshake. :shrug:

3 pumps seems kinda long :shrug:

I'm like 1 pump with a vibration shake :SIB

:142smilie I'll have to look into this "vibration shake" you speak of. Although it sounds like if you're not careful with that one it could get you punched. :scared

This guy says anywhere from one to three pumps is fine. :shrug:

Guy turned out to be a real dipshit! :142smilie

It's not really a vibration, more like a 1 pump, and squeeze, with a short and fast double pump :mj07:

Ok, that clears it up. :dizzy:

I thought this was the West Coast thang :shrug:

Nah, that would never fly here, it's more than 3 pumps.

interesting topic...here`s another slant...

""Victims Tell Their Stories

Two of the "victims" agreed to tell their story to the London-based Arabic daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi. One of them, fabric merchant S. K. A., said that a man from a West African tribe came into his shop to buy fabric, but an argument quickly developed between the two. Then the West African shook the store owner's hand powerfully until the owner felt his penis melt into his body. The store owner became hysterical, and was taken to the hospital. [3]

While the majority of accounts involved handshaking, another victim, who refused to give his name, said that while he was at the market, a man approached him, gave him a comb, and asked him to comb his hair. When he did so, within seconds, he said, he felt a strange sensation and discovered that he had lost his penis. It was also claimed that once "'Satan's Friend' drains a man's virility," he demands that his victim pay him over four million Sudanese pounds (about $3,000) to get it back. [4] ""
