Kneck?

 

[Perth gal]

Bad attitudes. People who are pretentious. People that wear clothes with their arse hanging out, **** out or jeans so low you can see undies .

 

[Faithful Hawk]

Kneck?

Tattoos that are on your neck, oops been a long day at work

 

[Headless]

This.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

people who seem to have a smile on their face 24/7 come accross as fake to me. Its good to be a happy person and smiling a lot is fine, but no one can be that happy ALL the time

100% the weak handshake. Feels like you're holding a limp lettuce leaf.

 

[craigos]

I use to make judgements on people appearance when first meeting them then quickly learned that they're almost always wrong. Now I just judge people on anonymous internet forums

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

I'm probably more likely to have a bad first impression of someone with an overly strong handshake, rather than an overly weak one.

Unless you barrack for the Hawks.


Someone with no self-confidence is the worst kind of first impression. Followed by loud, obnoxious & over-compensating types.

Being drunk or stoned won't win any favors either....Being overly-familiar, is also a bell-ringer.

Others: Poor personal hygiene & bad breath....'Oh, you mean the guy with halitosis - that one?'.....These are Not endearing qualities to be remembered by.

 

[Eagle got a win]

I once shook my interviewers hand so hard that I fractured her hand in three places but boy did I make a good first impression.

Heard I didn't get the job because I was over qualified. Something about my strengths.

(Story may not be true.)

 

[Reynolds Number]

If there is one bad first impression that I don't like it's those who are drunk and get mouthy and bravado. I try to keep my distance from people who do that.
Also those who give you the "**** off" demeanour when you harmlessly say hello.

Having said the above it's pretty obvious from this discussion that first impressions does not reveal the entire character of a person.

 

[BALKAN]

If I try to shake hands with you like a normal person and you turn it into some gangsta bullshit where our hands slide against each other I will hate you forever.

People who smell bad.
