I was but only because I envied your e'lan and dancing prowess.

Only time I’ve offered my left hand, was when I was sitting in a car and somebody walked up to the window,or in a position that offering my right hand was impractical.

I went to my FLAP to get a replacement battery, and when the guy was finished installing it, I offered my fist to give him a fist bump. He put his palm out, looked at me and said, I thought you were going to give me something…🤪

Personally I wouldn't be offended if someone offered me their left hand. Sometime stuff happens or they may have an injury that's not obvious.

What would offend me is if I offered my hand and they ignored it.

I'm left-handed .... so I've always extended my left middle finger... hmmm.

Folks just seemed to take it wrong too ... now I know why.

I will use the right finger from now on

Maybe he thought you were putting out your left hand?

I agree with this....I would think it was odd, but wouldn't spend more than 10 seconds pondering it. I would just chalk this up to "people are odd and who cares?". Now as you said, if someone refuses a handshake, that is a different deal altogether.

Quigley would take him out right handed or left!

^I just watched Quigley the other night, good flick. Too bad he couldn't have dropped him off a cliff though, or off the roof of the house.

She has a great rack in that movie too.

As for the left hand thing, had he not just shaken with his right to his brothers, I would have taken it as a F you too. Strange, what does your wife think?

Seems weird especially since he just used his right hand for several other people.

Only thing I could think of it that makes it benign is if either of you were in an awkward physical position causing him to extend his other hand?

Maybe he thought you might crush his special hand.

I've done it a few times, but it was because I was shaking Bob Dole's hand. Really.

I think Gene Krupa used to shake with his left hand, claiming it was underdeveloped.

Isn't it like a secret handshake for gay people when they greet each other?

What's wrong with the cartoon is that they are still holding hands in the last 2 panes.
