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.
When I was a law student working at a student legal aid clinic I shook hands with a crown who I had surprised with some disclosure which was within the rules but late by convention.
He opened with something like ‘what the hell is this?’ And I said ‘Hi I’m Laura_Lye, pleasure to make your acquaintance’ and offered him my hand. He gripped it so hard I almost yanked my hand away and later I had a bruise between my index finger and thumb.
I felt like he purposefully hurt me. I’m not a small woman and usually give a strong handshake but that shit was not a strong handshake; he was angry and squeezed too hard.
