    Ok - To protect the annonymity of said person, ill call him Lisa S....

    Anyways, this L. Simpson character joined me recently and shook hands to say hi. Cool i thought and moved on.

    But its a week on and every day he approaches me, just to shake my hand AGAIN! :eek:

    Im fairly claustraphobic...generally if you approach me that close, youd better have

    a) Nice boobs
    b) Nice bum

    and i had better have

    a) Had my coffee
    b) Not cum within the last 10 minutes

    You can ask anybody!

    I mean im paid to barely tolerate hundreds of people (good, bad and downright weird) on a daily basis, but this just got the better of me on a frustrating Monday. So anyway...I tell the guy today to stop as its freaking me out. He smiles and walks off. :confused:

    What odds he does same tomorrow?

    And before someone says "OOOH Someone needs to get laid"... I had done this too (which usually levels me out) so this MUST be annoying.

    Finally, has anyone met such a person? Is it the done thing in some countries or something?

    Next time, take his extended hand, look him in the eye, smile, shake the hand firmly and say admiringly "Good handshake, you must wánk a lot" and walk away.
    Your problem will be solved. You're welcome.

    I greet everyone I meet with a handshake.

    Formal handshakes all round!

    And what's the story with women fake hugging & fake kissing when they meet someone they saw about ten minutes ago &, truth be told, they don't really like?

    If Lisa S is Indian and they are shaking your hand with their left hand, then they hate your guts. They keep shaking your hand with the hand they wipe their @rse with

    Yeah, a lot of Polish lads I worked with do the same thing. I like it. It brings a professional sense of duty to the start of the day, even between people who wouldn't say hello outside of 9 to 5!

    Well OP this serial handshaker could be a Freemason. I used to get tired of my future Brother-in-Law always shaking my hand whenever we met. Five years after I first met him he tells me he's a Freemason, so it all made sense.

    Its better that there is shaking of hands than the daily word unspoken.
