Thumb shakes

[LeeThePeople]

Does a thumb shake annoy anyone else?

I go to give someone a handshacke and they grab my thumb, whats that about then? Will it soon be pinkies? or willies?

Either way it's silly and from this day on I refuse to do business with anyone who does it.

Is it usually accompanied with a baseball cap, and/or "aye" and/or "sup homie" or equivalent??

I don't understand. Why would anyone grab your thumb? Is it like a 'pull my finger' thing?

I've personally never heard of a "Handshack"

It must be a Mancunian thing, it appears to be the new fist bump.

FFS we were doing this rubbish in primary school. We grew out of it.

A well timed fart as your thumb is shaked should dissuade the shaker in future.
