I know some pretty bad people and they do have floppy handshakes though I think it's just for 'civilians' who they don't really respect - that's not a dig either I walk off thinking -'That were a bit limp'.

I think you've got that wrong. Most people with very gentle handshakes generally haven't been brought up to 'know' how to shake a hand 'properly'. That's not a dig at them, as it's not really their fault - not that having a soft handshake is a fault necessarily - and it doesn't make me think any less of them.

On the flip side, people with crushing handshakes are all knobs. No exceptions.

Firm is good.

Never really understood all that firm handshake stuff. Looking at people in the eye whilst talking yeah, but I can't say I'd personally remember a bloke or judge them by their hand shake?

It's not something I notice.

Isn't that called natural justice?

I agree it's not hygienic. But I think it's originally about showing you have no weapon in your hands.
