Let's face it: As long as you have pores, you're going to sweat. This is just the body’s response to overheating, since the moisture of sweat has a cooling effect on your skin.

But for some unfortunate folks, their excessive sweat can cause their skin to feel clammy. This cold, sweaty sensation often occurs whenever they get nervous or emotionally aroused.

So if you've ever been the unlucky receptient of a clammy handshake, then you've probably had the same exact thoughts as the ones listed below:

Why is this hand so wet?


I really hope its just sweat... and not something else!


His skin is so cold, just like a dead person.


Will this make my hand smell weird?!


Is he actually squeezing harder because his hands are so slippery?


Maybe if I loosen my grip he'll get the hint?

Can I let go now? What about NOW?!



This has to be the longest handshake ever!


Now I really need to stock up on hand sanitizer


Unless it involves gloves, I'm never shaking hands with this person ever again.
