At work yesterday, we had this 18 year old in his first day on his 4-year apprenticeship. As he was going around getting introduced to everyone at the firm, the boss sent him to me for an intro.
I extended my hand for a handshake, and then he nervously gives me the dead fish handshake (thats the weak handshake, where you touch only the fingers)
I then said "shake my hand like a man" and firmly grabbed the rest of his hand, and said "this is how a man shakes a hand" and laughed with two other masons, while he smiled awkwardly, parting his longhair.
When I was getting in this morning, the boss calls me upstairs, and the kid says I was being hurtful and made fun of him and so on. Boss was cool, told me to just be easy with the kid. Then i came back downstairs, and had a little chat with the sissy. Didn't apologise to him.
Shidh....I've got to train this kid until bloody May.
Kids nowadays....bunch of pansies.
