I don't understand the need to have firm handshakes. I have a dodgy right hand, from breaking too many fingers, my wrist, hand and thumb, multiple times, over a cricket career of almost 40 years, some at a high level. The amount of times I have had to comment to people to stop doing it, is insane. I once employed a roofer who simply had the hardest grip I have known, and I heard my thumb knuckle crack as he shook it violently. A friend of a friend, I say before I go near him to watch the hands.
I don't get it. It proves nothing.

ClientCo isn't really a lauging kind of place. Had to turn it into a sneeze.

That 'V' sign isn't them wanting to shake your hand.Originally posted by VirtualMonkey View PostThe worst for me are those people who proffer just their fingers...kind of like they think they're the pope and you're about to kiss their hand.

All you little chaps and chapesses worrying about your handshakes.
There are only 3 you need to worry about and they're not referred to as a "handshake".
