I suggest that with elders and seniors you shake hands like they do - it is not for us to teach our seniors. With those junior to you take the initiative and grasp the hand firmly and affectionately. We have a responsibility here to appear in control and to be affectionate.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves! I grasp their hand just like I normally would and let them give the weak handshake while getting a normal handshake from me.

You should shake their hand with your natural way of handshaking, regardless of what their handshake is like, being yourself, meaning natural is always best even in handshakes.

giggle and tell them they shake hands like a corpse. A smelly, rotten corpse.
