furie Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 http://i.imgur.com/WXo6Z.gif wow, this is uncomfortable to watch. i can totally relate to this. I'm that guy who goes for the regular shakes when the other guy goes for the fist bump or arm grab. I can never read what he other guys going to do.

1 of the 7 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It almost looks like they're doing a secret handshake instead of messing up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 This happens to me whenever I see my uncle. He's used doing the hand grab and pull closer for a hug while I'm used to the formal hand shake...trainwrecked every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Don't Tell Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Can totally relate. Messed up hand shakes make for an awkward moment, that's for sure. Edited August 14, 2011 by Show Don't Tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible To Telescopic Eye Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I've been there, fist bumping, shaking hands, hugging, there are so many ways to do it I'm never sure what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think the clue is in the name "Hand Shake". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I mess them up all the time. I just hate touching strangers in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Enemy Without Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 My friends and I mess up on purpose just to make it funny. It's kind of a long-running joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Here everyone hugs and gives a kiss on the cheek and guys just hug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The weird thing is that it looks like each continues to look at the others hand yet they still mess it up. You'd think one of them would have changed his game plan. Why do people have to make handshakes so weird? Just shake hands! I don't get it. I hate to shake hands with other women. Most have this pitiful, weak, limp grasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Bowing might solve all of these problems. Since shaking someone's left hand can be considered rude in some cultures, how do you shake this guy's right hand? http://www.richemporium.com/captainhook2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 A good firm handshake is the only way. Grown men should not fist bump. But, limp handshakes are the worst. When I'm meeting new employees for the first time, and I get a "lettuce-leaf" handshake, I know the HR manager has taken on a dingus. I'm usually right.

Lost In Xanadu Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Happened to me on Sat while at a music tent. Ran into an old friend went to shake his hand and he wanted to slap me on the back... wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't have a few drinks. It was quite the mess.
