So for some reason I shook the hand of the guy behind the counter at a camera shop today. It was not really appropriate. But rather than back down, I then shook the hand of the other lady back there. Vigorously and for far too long. Leave them with an impression, that's something that has been said.

I managed to completely flub a handshake at work yesterday, and I can't stop thinking about it. Anticipated a faster approach and sheepishly clamped down on the guy's fingers like a drunken lobster. Do I lean into the embarrassment and let it be a humbling experience, or do I think of it as a subversive act against antiquated corporate gestures? Either way, a life-changing experience!

My grandfather, who is my hero, has one of the firmest handshakes in a powerful but not squeezing way. I love handshakes.. I hug my friends but otherwise when I meet someone I like to shake.. I feel like it's such a great way to gage someone basically immediately - I really admire people who look you in the eyes and shake your hand with confidence. The way you shake hands is very telling of what type of person you are, deadfish shakes really scare me.

somehow it actually transforms any handshake into something genuine and friendly rather than weirdly formal and rigid

I'd NEVER pay for a algo-driven, ad-saturated social network...so even if it's purely symbolic in the long run, I just upgraded to demonstrate with my wallet that there is a market for this cool community.

I know I'm not cool. That's why I appreciate the PI community for letting me play at being cool. I feel like a hipster pollywog with a protective froggie parent letting me explore the pond safely. Sure, at some point I'm likely to get snatched up as a seagull's breakfast, but I'll enjoy the pond while I can. Thanks.

Probably picked it up from Reddit, I feel good when saying this, no idea why.
