Well that can depend on a lot of things.

I'm told my handshake is like a vice grip but I've been strength training over 30 years, Judo just as long (it requires massive grip strength) and always been a manual worker so I've got firm, strong hands either way.

There is only one reason for an overly firm handshake and that is to prove how tough one is.

Your training excuse is nonsense. Do you go around accidentally breaking glasses when you pick them up? Do you constantly break door handles because you don't know your own strength?

If your handshake is "like a vice grip", it's because you like people to know how tough you are.
A but like needlessly telling you how long you've trained and how massive your grip strength is.

I wonder if your handshake is "like a vice grip" when you shake women's hands?

It's all macho balderdash. That poster reminds me of many other men you'd meet in their forties and fifties. Absolutely convinced that anyone younger than them is a pansy while they spend their evenings stewing in front of the television gorging on a tub of Ben and Jerry's, lamenting their waning libidos and virility. Soft as ****e.

Id say your mickey is about 2 inches. An angry little thing poking out from a thicket of ginger pubes. Would explain the pathetic hard man act anyway.

I just puked into mouth!

Excellent use of imagery, though, nausea aside.

we define ourselves by what we do, its generally asked as a part of starting conversation, i.e. small talk

It can be. It can also be a way for some people to really quickly make a decision about all kinds of things. E.g. Manual labour, likely earnings, likely class, likely education, likely interests etc. I find it a red flag because people man read way too much Into it. I feel I have a "good answer" to the " what do you do?" question, but I feel it's way too much of a loaded question about whether you're "above" them or "beneath" them.

There are loads of things to talk about and actually find out about a person without asking their job. Job is way too misleading. I feel it's either pidgin holing or a sure sign of a person who doesn't have very many interesting topics to talk about. Or they're looking for me to ask them about their job so they can talk about it. I never ask people what they do and I dont mind how awkward it makes the meeting.

If someone wants to talk about their job on my free time, they can fcuk all the way off.

Some people you see in client facing positions that you can't take seriously

Ripped jeans and 5 year old converse are just the pits!!!!

Recently I was somewhere with a bit of time to kill and I thought I would pop into a barber and get the hair sorted. Opened the door no queue - lovely stuff.
Saw the barber standing there in a pair of "badly stained" grey tracksuits bottom

Nah you're grand! (backed out the door slowly)

If this is going to be a thread where people can “air” their ignorant, and backward, views it should be sent over to the “Current Affairs” forum now, so the rest of us don’t have to endure it.

When are we going to stage an "intervention" for Emmet's misuse of "quotation marks"?

Apologies, ATNM, that was posted in the wrong thread. Should have been in the “Things That You Don’t Give a Sh$t About” thread.

I hate the limp shake of course, but worse is the idiot who gives a firm handshake then applies a second pressure to show me how strong he is.

I dislike someone who curses a lot, esp using 'cnut.

I don't like hearing about someone's toilet or bedroom habits either.

Spitting & smoking or both negatives for me too.

Neck tattoo's, blue/pink/green hair usually worn by fat feminist types and botox lips all send up a red flag for me.

:D:D

Smoking, excessive drinking, poor hygiene and/or manners, arrogance or pomposity.

Other than that a man who badmouths his ex's out of nowhere, and (bad family relationships aside, which I would expect not to hear about until much later) slating his parents and family or treats them, or anyone else, with undeserved disrespect.

The sorts who use their Irish surname when that planter surname has been clumsily translated into Irish. Usually the type of nationalist bores who would drive you to drink.

Ah yes, nothing worse, the interminable droning on and on about how the “other side” is to blame for everything. Lots of references to their violence but no mention of their own crowd’s. Conveniently forgetting that Wolfe Tone, Emmet, Thomas Davis, and Parnell were all “dirty prods” too.

Then you get the pontificating about “reunification” and how it won’t be an absolute shambles. All while revelling in the, potential, economic, disaster that Britain is facing.

They’d drive you to drink alright, J. Then they’d have the nerve to start “lecturing” you about it. The only thing you can do with someone like that is avoid.

Avoid, avoid, avoid.

You rather shake their knob/pussy instead?

Thats ridiculous. I don't think I've ever took notice of my barbers clothes.

What is it about a miserable, mottled and vaguely mushroom shaped penis peering out from a thicket of greasy ginger pubes that repulses you so?
