What do you do when someone you dont like tries to shake your hand?

[sosousage]

Lets say someone you dont like, or someone who talks bs about you, pulls out hand and tries to shake yours.

do you just shake his hand and answer his words or talk or whatever or do you tell him to fug off


i had countless situations where worthless people tried to shake my hand, and I usually go with it out of habit, but i dont really want to

on the other hand when someone pulls his hand out and you just stand there without reacting thats weird too lol

Well, you have an excuse not to these days.

The ritual of shaking of hands developed as a way to showing the other that you both are not holding weapons. Thus, unless you hate the guy so much that you want to coldcock him, you should shake.

I'm sure these 2 hated each other, but they still shook hands:

Due to COVID-19, I hope the tradition of shaking hands dies completely. It is a disgusting practice.

Slap them

The fact that they are shaking YOUR hand says a lot. If you shake be stern with eye contact.
Or if you want to be a **** pull back at the last second and start talking to someone in the group you value more.

"says a lot."

Just nod which says "I acknowledge you are there, but that's it"

This is an awkward one for sure.
I've calmly and politely refused, stating; "a handshake is a gesture that means something to me. Some of its meaning would be lost, if I accepted your overture."
No matter how you refuse, it will not go over well (at least mine hasn't). It's awkward for sure, but if I had conformed, I would have left.. feeling less proud of myself.

Give them a crush squeeze. I did it to a guy who was hitting on my girl when I wasn't around, but would act all friendly with me. Watching his face contort was priceless. My girl at the time thought so too haha.
