Hey blunts. One time I met my buddys great uncle. He was about 80 years old and used to bullride and bronc-ride. I went to shake his hand and grabbed his wrist. I looked down and he was missing his thumb. hehe. Very cool guy, says it happens all the time.

Though blunts, where I come from....lets say you go to a friend house and there are 4 people there you don't know. In my book you should immediately shake their hand and introduce yourself. I feel disrespected when I don't get a handshake sometimes. Don't jump over couches and whatnot, meet everyone in your immediate area. Even if it is 20 minutes later, it can be fixed by saying "hey, I didn't get your name. Im xxxxx" stick out your hand and all is forgiven.
hah man i think its a Texas thing bc everytime i walk into a party i gotta introduce myself and give em a handshake. I was in florida partying last year and tried to do the same thing, they looked at me like i had no head or something...oh well. Also i was a used car salesman for a year and a half, i could tell wether or not i was gonna sell you a car that day by your handshake.
MOBABN Reviewed by MOBABN on . How important is a firm handshake? When I was 5 years old, eye contact was the first thing my dad taught me along with a firm handshake. "you look a man in the eye, whether he is bigger or smaller than you. Stick out your hand into their space before they do. When you grab each others hand, make sure you are the one with the dominant hold. Look him in the eye and introduce yourself loud and clear." I can't remember how many times people complimented my dad and I when I was young. Noone expects a five year old to shake your Rating: 5
