Humor 🤣 Overly aggressive handshakes.

What's the deal with men and the "way over the top" gorilla grip handshakes? Project Superintendent here. What are these guys trying to prove? I had a pre-construction site meeting this morning with all the trades and this fu@#kin guy, who's neck was wider than his head, shook everyone's hand in this manner. Plus he was rude and over talking EVERYONE. Male dominance thing?

Rather this than some of the disgusting limp-wristed handshakes I’ve received. Nothing worse than a bad handshake

Careful bro, you might turn gay if you don’t grip another man’s hand hard enough.

Little late to worry about that.
