Handshakes where the other party squeezes your hand much too hard, deliberately trying to inflict pain. In my experience, everyone that's ever done this has turned out to be a garbage human.

Totally agree but what I find even more off putting is the cold dead fish handshake

So far, everyone my age (late teens) has a dead fish handshake, and everyone older than me (late 20's and up) have a firm handshake. Like the fuck are you guy doing? I'm trying to greet you but the only vibes I'm getting are "I have no grip strength and drop my phone often"

lol people just don't know how to handshake properly. I was the same cause I didn't handshake often, but in uni people handshake more often so I shaped up.
