I know you mentioned this on another show but I feel I should respond here?
I thought I should clarify after your response above but was busy moving house. It'll be fine though, Keith hasn't mentioned one of my posts on the show in ages...
It wasn't that I refused to shake hands, I just wasn't going to be the person to volunteer the hand first. The awkward part was when, as I go to wave they reach forward to shake. It was more about when you meet a bunch of strangers at once and everyone would go around the circle shaking and I thought it was easier if we all just said hello, especially when it was people you were probably never going to see again.
This was around the time of the Seinfeld episode where he's sick of having to greet all the people in his building.
I think I stopped when I started meeting my girlfriends family 15 years ago. I knew I had to make a good first impression so there was no room for error. Instead I got into the bad habit of not listening to names when I was introduced to people.
