The worst type of handshake is the one between (typically) two men where a guy is trying to assert himself and clamp down on your hand with a firm handshake but they clamp too early. Instead of gripping your hand when the cruxes of your thumbs and forefingers meet, he clamps down on your fingers and mashes them painfully. I cannot help but feel that people know when they are doing this, but they silently persist in it anyway because they get to assert their dominant role as if to say, "Ha, I have the upper hand," with this smugly underhanded gesture. It also seems like people that do this tend to be overbearing and obnoxious in general. Has anyone else noticed this?
