    Wet handshakes

    I hate wet handshakes. Particularly on men.

    But how do you know if you've got one? You can't really try out your own handshake. And danger of limp fish paranoia meaning you exercise vice like grip, which is almost as bad.

    So how do you find out if your handshake falls within normal parameters?

    I thought you meant people who don't dry their hands and then try and shake yours.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      That's pretty annoying too. Limp and wet - definitely not a winning combo.

        absolute nightmare but I've realized over the years that a bad handshake is usually the other persons fault for gripping too soon before the palms have come together, it's just unfortunate that its not the person who cocked it up who is left feeling like an idiot

          No some people do have weak handshakes. It's like grabbing a piece of wet lettuce. If you squeeze to hard you crush the spot wet leaves, if you squeeze too softly you too are in danger of being labelled a limp wristed felch monkey.

            Surely a well trained felch monkey would have a good strong grip?

            There is no justice in the world.

                I still think that if one were training a monkey to do it one would pick a monkey with a good strong grip.

                  Worked with a PM once who always heartily handshaked everyone he met. In the two years I worked there, I never once saw him wash his hands in the gents toilets after taking a pee.
