Hand Rubbing: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

There is an eerie specificity in fiction to reserve this gesture for [[Smug Snake]] type villains. [[Honest John's Dealership|Used car salesmen]], lower-end [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|corrupt corporate executives]] and the [[Dastardly Whiplash]] will gleefully rub their hands when things are going their way, but a true [[Magnificent Bastard]] always opts to [[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive|clasp his hands]] instead. Even when otherwise positive characters do this, there's nearly always a sinister undercurrent.
