+266 It would be really awkward shaking hands with someone with the opposite dominant hand, amirite?

Nope, I'd just smile and use my other hand.

Not really, it's just a hand shake.

Everyone shakes hands with their right hand. Even though I'm a lefty, it'd be weird for me to start using my left hand to shake hands because right-handed shakes are so ingrained in my muscle memory.

It is pretty awkward for a few seconds. Then my instinct is to use my left when they switch to their right....till we laugh it off, shake properly and forget the awkwardness. It can turn a banal handshake into a bit of a bonding moment, though.

I'm a fencer, so I have to do this pretty often. It's not that awkward.
