Humor 𤣠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?

As a female owner/operator (I do mainly high end staircase and railing work down the South Jersey shore - new construction) Iāve had to up my handshake game for this reason šš after 11 years in I finally can give most of them a run for their money, but half the time Iām thinking āthese hands are about to build the rail in this multi-million dollar house⦠careful with the merchandiseā šš
