Seriously unless I'm expecting to meet someone or am being formally introduced I'm not shaking your hand. You will get a head nod, a "how's it goin?" or at least an adknowledgement that you exist via eye contact. I won't be touching you. I won't be letting you touch me.
A little judgement goes a long way and also since it's been done to death on internet BBs' it is not our job to prove your story. It's yours if you don't want to be put under the microscope. These things can be tracked and researched. If it happened it happened but your overglorification of your story puts it closer to the BS bin. Just the thought of some skinny kid going up against a couple big hawaiian dudes and winning makes me giggle a bit.
Well, ive been raised differently than that. If someone attempts to shake your hand in a friendly gesture, you return it. Thats just how I was raised. I wouldnt take candy from him, but if he offers a handshake, I return it.
I'm not asking you to prove my story, but if you want to insist it's a lie, prove it is. If you just dont beleive it, then say you dont beleive it. But unless you can PROVE its a lie, dont come calling me a liar and telling everyone else to take it as a lie. I never said I won. I just didnt lose. I would call it a draw, as I walked away unharmed, but lost a few posessions.
