Once in a while I'll meet someone and either I reach out my left hand (because there's a 50% chance I happen to decide to shake with that hand) or something's in my right hand and I have no choice but to extend out the left. When I do this sometimes the recipient of the shake refuses to shake, insisting that I use my right hand, even if it's full of something. They explain that it's "rude" to shake with my left hand and look at me like I'm some retard that never learned to tie his shoes.

Okay people, shaking with your right hand, albeit an old American tradition, should have now died off with the rest of the Jim Crow Stepford Housewife McCarthy Era laws and moreways. Why the right hand? Is it better? No. It's retarded. If I give you my left hand you better fucking shake it.

I've suffered long enough as a left-handed person, being persecuted and looked down upon just because I shake with my left hand. Well IT'S NOT A CHOICE PEOPLE! I was BORN this way! Don't you see? I bet you don't and neither did Helen Keller. Now she's dead. Probably due to right hand exposure and not enough nourishment from shaking her left hand. I don't want the same fate.

I can't help but to introduce myself from the opposing hand that your sorry righty-ass has long since been oppressauring. What next, ban left-handed marriages? Symmetry is at stake here. Left hands shall rise.

THINK ABOUT IT! ...I'm off to the gym now.

c0r version: LEFT PRIDE! LEFT POWER!!!!

Ive always hated retarded social conventions that only remain due to "custom". Who really gives a shit which hand is used for shaking?

I would usually agree with something like this, but I cant this time. I feel like there needs to be some kind of social norm for things like this. Otherwise, every encounter with someone new is going to be an awkward left-or-right-handed MESS. I feel like it's somewhat comparable to traffic laws. You could just as easily have said "Idiots fixated on red means stop and green means go."

It's a social norm that is set up so that interaction is easier and less stressful, and doesnt cause fatal accidents.

I think its a whole other argument about WHY it's the right hand. Yeah, you guys just got the shaft, there.

Old people.

And young people who want to become politicians or managers of some type.

So would you turn down a left handed hand job?

tis true, it's a major form of disrespect if you offer your left hand

which would be why some people refuse to shake your hand when you offer your left, you's basically saying, i don't respect you enough so here, shake my shit hand

it also stems from early times when you would offer your open hand as a form of peace and showing you aren't holding a weapon

which would be why, even when i have something in my right hand, i transfer it to my left so i'm able to offer my right hand when the hand shake situation arises, it's about showing respect to another person
