I don't like feeble handshakes, either. 
My grump of the day is my step-daughter's use of "it just came off in my hand!" (or similar phrases) with monotonous regularity. Her latest one was yesterday when she came to me with the key of Wor Lass's car in two pieces. I had driven the car myself not a couple of hours previously and there was nothing wrong with the key. Once I had forced the blade back into the fob (it is a push fit), I could not get it out again. So it didn't "just fall out", she was doing something with it she shouldn't have been.

How old is he now?? My step-d is 30! Yes, she is still living with us (3rd time she's been back since she left uni.), but that's a whole different grump activated by her total lack of financial sense. As soon as she gets paid, she's spending. It's an addiction and, try as we might, we can't clean her up.
Preeeeeeeeeecisely.
not that you are at all on a downer on her!!

tell her to go stay with recently sprogged out friend and see how long she puts up with the sh.. and screaming for!
*just call me dear deirdre!

Actually, in this instance the friend is just as much to blame. As I understand it she went out and got herself pregnant. Certainly the father isn't around, and hasn't been since quite early-on in the confinement. In this instance baby = fashion accessory, IMO. We've got a lad (believe it or not!) at work who did something similar a couple of years ago. All his friends were married and having bairns. So he met an agreeable lass (who already had one 6-y-o with an absent father) and now they have one.
.......And, yes, I don't particularly get-on with step-d. In fact, my dislike of her almost put me off getting involved with her mother. The only thing that I thought was a positive was her growing-up and leaving home. That was 16 years ago. If only...........

Aye, thrice unlucky TBH. You'd have thought that after the first failed marriage I'd have learned my lesson. But no, the second mistake was entirely of my own making. By the time I started thinking with my head rather than my todger it was too late for anything other than the inevitable divorce. Up to that point it really was "sod everything else, the nooky's brilliant!". Eight years wasted............. At least now I'm at the age when nooky is at the bottom of the priority list (it's a very rare occurrence and I couldn't care less), and if I'm honest step-d is my only big issue with this marriage.
