In a situation where you have clammy hands, what do you do? Wipe them pre-handshake? Warn them that your hands are sweaty? Decline a handshake?

I had a meeting yesterday where I was hugged by way of introduction. I get this in freelance work a lot but this was an office first.

Ignore the sweat, carry on as normal and feel really embarrassed afterwards.

My Spanish (and Portuguese) friends are big on the hugs and kisses.

It’s weird how many men try to alpha you with a handshake. Could tell my new line manager really fancied himself as a bit of a Geoff Capes, so i went in as limp as possible to put him off my threat, but i’ll absolutely undermine and eventually destroy him in the most passive-aggressive ways possible over several months.

There are few things I love more than a Geoff Capes reference

Absolutely not

step by step explanation of your moves please

I believe so, yes

Wonder if the powerful-handshake types deliberately train using these sorts of things

Keep getting myself into those ones where someone just grabs my fingers and squeezes a bit.

The dream:

The reality:

For some reason, only ever have (smooth) elaborate handshakes with fellow minority peoples

My old boss, who was a very middle aged, white dude would constantly remark jelously on how ‘your lot’ shake hands
