bad handshake

[ferret]

Next time I will definately check what fingers are being offered to me before I shake

And smell the palm of your hand afterwards - just in case it is some kind of in-office joke...

If it makes you feel any better, I have had handshake 'malfunctions' in the past.

One that springs to mind is where my index finger was not closed up as I went to shake and I ended up doing a kind of scissor thing across the other person's hand.

Anyone else had this (or similar) or is it just me!

Had an interview the other day and the glamour nail woman gripped my hand so hard it hurt and then almost wouldn't let go.

horrid.

So i went to shake hands with this guy and he offers me one finger to shake! it felt disgusting!

wtf is up with that?

I know the answer.

The finger guy was an extra-terrestrial. You were meant to touch the top of his finger and say 'home'.

(or am I showing my age...)

Index finger. But he definately wasn't pointing to anything. Maybe I took him by surprise but I mean is there really any excuse? I was leaving, as were the others, so I was saying goodbye.
