i give some people some slack because it is actually considered a sign of disrespect in some cultures to look someone directly in the eyes..until you know them better at least.

for me it is the handshake. if you are going to bother giving a handshake, why give one of those lame ass limp wrist kind of deals? it throws me off everytime.

Yeah I follow you on the eye contact thing. And I'm not talking about a creepy starin'-em-down kinda thing, just you know, be friendly about it. Don't concentrate on your cell phone or the guy walking by if your having a convo with someone.

Speaking of the limp wrist handshake...now that is kinda creepy...
