Abstract
“I’m not shaking hands with you,” my friend and colleague says loudly. With a dramatic flourish, he withdraws his hand and hides it behind his back, pointing his chin and lower lip towards me in a classic Gallic pout. No one else present bats an eyelid. The chomping of lunch and chewing the fat continues around the table, and I am left offering my hand to empty space. This response is slightly better than the “Aaaagh, salaud” (“Agh, bastard”) I received a few days earlier when committing the same social faux pas. Twice in one week—not good.
