Have an uncle who always applies excessive amount of pressure to the point of crushing your hand if you're not "fighting back" and not letting go of your hand when shaking it as a power move. Extremely uncomfortable.
That coupled with his extremist right wing worldview and strong belief in conspiracies and always wanting to one-up everyone in the room really made me cut ties with him like 10-15 years ago.
Saw him 2 years ago at my dad's funeral, he's even worse now. And that weird handshake again, and trying to explain why my dad really died, like, the fuck is your problem?
