• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

What’s your go to move when someone obviously dirty wants to shake your hand?

COVID has been a nice excuse but can’t go on forever (maybe). My move has to always quickly turn my head and pretend not to see it. Just tried to pull that move at the gas station though and it didn’t work. Hand still out when I turned back around. I shook it and immediately went to the bathroom to wash up. I need some better ideas, chances are I’ll see this guy again.

Was @jarhead5903 trying to wash your windows again for a few bucks?
 
Yeah, but I really wanted no contact with this scrub. And goddamnit I’m not doing the foot kick thing.

You could always ask yourself, what would Jerry Seinfeld do?

Several posters already said my thoughts, which are basically I am a man, so I shake someone's hand if they hold it out. Don't give a shit if they are dirty.
 
Long time ago their was this guy in our general council who had some kind of skin disease on his hands. His fingers were peeling to where he had bright red finger tips and flakes. One day he came by my office for something and I asked a legal question and he didn’t have an answer but knew someone who would. He suggested calling and I was like, yea I’ll get around to it I had other things to deal with. He insists and then he fucking picks up my phone and dials and I about threw up.

Later he wore around gloves with the insides coated in jelly. Fucking disgusting.
 
Man up that simple. Control your world in all things or it will control you. I shke hands with whom I want and avoid if I feel like it. To the point of them going in for a hand shake and me either fist bumping or saying nope. Its my world not theres. Thats honestly how we doing in the Kings household...
