I always like when someone introduces someone else to me. The new person always says that stupid, "Nice ta meet ya." I love one upping the eff right of them with the high and mighty, "it's my pleasure." (or maybe, "The pleasure is all mine." They know right away that I am a boss.If I am being introduced, I say, "It is my pleasure to meet you." They always fall over for lack of being able to respond to such charm.
I bet when slobber shakes someone's hand on the first meet he grabs too soon and ends up shaking hands with their fingers. Not boss and definitely not the other person's pleasure.
My rule of thumb is just try to do whatever Don Draper would do when meeting someone.

LESS THAN HALF THE TIME!eff, dobber. thats so horrible for everyone involved. if you have even a chance of flubbing a first handshake, you should just say you have the flu or something and decline.

how does "cool" work?
I use both interchangeably
a lot of times i just give the slight grin and head nod, basically the non-verbal "no problem"

What is the proper response to "I'm sorry" when it's really not something to be sorry about....I always say "You're fine" but feels weird sometimes.
