So I have a new neighbour and discovered he doesn't speak a word of English.
Hes clearly of middle eastern decent.
When I introduced myself I opened with a handshake and the usual fumbling when 2 people cant understand each other.
The odd thing was the way he presented his hand for handshaking. He showed me his fingers and knuckles with is palm facing down and not sideways as I would expect for a conventional handshake.
Upon researching this I'm feeling offended.

Is he a prick or am I a victim of misunderstanding cultural differences.
Gip.
