Weird Uncle
SOMETHING TO PROVE
The classic bad
handshake. The hand
limply lays on the other
hand and applies no
pressure back. Awful!
The hand is totally
rigid and doesn’t clasp
with straight fingers
pointing down.
Nobody wants to make
the wrong move so no
move is made. The
handshake just keeps
going forever.
This handshake
violates finger etiquette
and personal space by
reaching too far up your
wrist.
The opposite of the Old
Aunt. It applies entirely
too much pressure to the
point of being painful.
