maybe it was some hip kid breakdance handshake that required some kind of spin on the spot at the end.... you are so out of touch!

Go straight up to him and demand (within earshot of everyone else if possible), just what the hell he's playing at, and demand that he extends all digits for shaking in the future.
He'll soon buck his ideas up. Expect a long and fruitful working relationship to follow.

This thread is so wrong, yet so right
He was not offering his hand for shaking, he was merely pointing to where he was taking you to sit down for a chat. Now that you shook his pointing finger you are the laughing stock of the office.
