Handshake mishap

[Sarah]

When two people are attempting to shake hands and some sort of mishap occurs such as one person partially missing the other persons hand and ending up shaking just their fingers.
Grabbing just fingers is terrible and is sometimes misinterpreted as giving someone a [limp fish] handshake. Both the limp fish and just fingers make a terrible impression on both close friends and complete strangers leading to harsh reactions ranging from a moment of unspoken awkwardness, to outright ridicule or even death in some cultures.
Therefore if a [handshake mishap] occurs the best resolution is to immediately ask for a [handshake reset]. While this will not completely absolve the handshake mishap it does go a long way towards making things right.
