The handshake or the hand slap?

[patlajan]

OK ever run into a friend from way back and you're not sure if you should greet each other like the old days or shake hands because you're adults now? That's a weird situation for me sometimes. Neither knows what the way to go is so something in between comes out. Like a formal high five, that looks odd.

Hey that's like the cross between a kiss on the cheek and a hug and a handshake that I get stuck between sometimes. You pretty much just end up looking stupid. Lean in go back out stretch your arm, it's just a big mess.

I don't know, a hug always works for me - no awkwardness, no nothing.

The eggplant makes a thread about handshakes. That itself deserves a high five.

I do not do handslaps unless some monkey of a human being that I do not know well initiates it bluntly.

I once did a handslap to this really weird guy with big toes when I visited the Interzone.

Doesn't that make you a monkey of a human being also?

No. When I post, it is with my rules.

Thank you for stating the irrelevant, but you still have not satisfactorily answered the question.

You asked me a yes-or-no question and I responded "no". Then I wrote an explanation beyond that. The way I figure it, you should be rewarding me for giving you more than your stupid question deserved.
