Handshake Greetings

I can't get my head around this fist bumping business. High fives seem to have some sort of place as a congratulatory 'greeting' but what's the point of the fistbump I wonder?
My understanding is that it is basically a less obvious version of a high five. And (by an odd coincidence) there was an example in Garfield yesterday (Sat 24 Sept):

My pet hate is sales people who having taken down my name and address as part of the process immediately start calling me by my first name ... without asking.

I knew there was at least one benefit from working hard to obtain a PhD. In circumstances as described you can insist - correctly - on being called "Doctor". (You don't tell them doctor of what). Not just red-faced but a lovely beetroot colour!

I have absolutely no objection to anyone calling me Mike rather than Doctor, EEPHIL!

Shall I wait 3.5 months to formulate a reply? No.
I don't usually object to whatever someone calls me - providing it's not rude - but in the circumstances above it is a useful tool.
