I didn't read most of this thread as it is mostly a bunch of boring , but all you s that think hand shaking is stupid or whatever, need to get the out of the US. It is a form of respect. All my Russian, French, and German friends I know, all shake out of RESPECT. Not because of some social norm that you are attributing it to. ugh |
But "shaking out of respect" IS that social norm you are trying to disassociate this practice from. Yes it's respectful and I actually shake with my right more than my left only because my body has been used to those interactions. But getting chastised for using my left hand is just outright annoying and pathetic. |

Who gives a flying which hand you use, how hard you shake and where the you're looking? It's an arbitrary gesture. I tend to offer my left hand because I'm left handed, and I've never been told that it's wrong. If you judge someone or get offended by a handshake you're stuck-up, as far as I'm concerned. |
Well said. Ditto and I love you! |

No but you are for misinterpreting what I said.

No miss retard. I was saying that the REASON for shaking with the right for the original reason (as a sign that you are not holding a weapon) has long since dissipated. I'm talking about the god damn weapons. Jesus what's up with your tampons they're a bit wet you need to change them duders.

Yeah and also disrespect for people who shake with their left.

It's a perfect analogy and you're a perfect idiot. I win. |

in many cultures, the left hand is associated with cleaning one's ass after ting, and the right was used to eat.
Toilet paper didn't always exist. |

Yeah, you're a spineless **** who does what he's told. Well played. |
Are you one of those people that get up in arms when someone says "how you going?" as a greeting when they're not really asking the question? or when they say "see you later" when you know they won't?
What do you think you're doing with this? raging against the machine of social norms with your left hand? It's a pointless pathetic little argument about nothing. I understand that is what the internet is all about, so I say again, go plant a tree you moaning little bitch. |

| with the amount of kids in the states offing themselves i don't think the sign of you "holding a weapon" has been lost, i'm more scared of kids with guns now than i ever was before, and i don't even live in the states |

And the fact that people are bothered by this, shows that too many people are consumed with non-conformity while conforming to non-conformity. If you don't like it, fine, but get over yourself. It is a ing handshake for sakes. It isn't making life hard. |
+1
i really don't care, i've just been filling my time on the internet arguing with non-conformist idiots
continue on, i need my wednesday filled, my flight doesn't leave until early thursday |

System J...it's hilarious the way you're getting fired up.
We're not OPPRESSING lefties, and definitely not saying "we're right handed so EVERYONE should conform to us". It's just a matter of ease, the same way everyone drives on the same side of the road.
When I said I get offended when people shake left, I didn't mean all the time, I meant like if you're at a club and a right-hander has their drink in their right, so gives you that disrespectful "twist at the shoulder so the palm on the left hand is facing the same way it would on a right hand" handshake. Put your ing drink down and shake properly, cock.
If I was in a work environment and a lefty tried to shake with the left (with their right hand free of other tasks), I'd be surprised, but wouldn't think they were strange or rude.
Still...limp wrist = I think less of you. |
