Not OP, but I'm presuming OP was somewhere in the DC area, not in the middle east...therefore, what is "supposed to" happen in the ME is irrelevant. When in Rome...
Yeah, but many immigrants bring their culture with them, and keep it.
Muslims are supposed to only use their left hand to wipe after using the bathroom, and thus eat and shake with their right hand - which is why it's considered very rude to offer your left hand to shake.
Well, they are in the wrong, not OP. If I moved to Sweden, I'd expect that I'd learn to adapt to Swedish customs--I wouldn't expect the Swedes to adapt to me. That's what causes anti-immigrant sentiment.
In all honesty, I know that I was technically "wrong" but it wasn't as if that is how I typically introduce myself. I clearly had stuff in my right hand that I couldn't just drop and I didn't want to be rude and leave her hand just hanging there. Lol

Surely it's overlooked then, I would assume. I guess she just wanted me to let my kid fall to the ground and probably run back through the park, drop the stroller on him, and all the stuff i had too.

Also, I didn't imagine it because when I held out my hand she looked at it like I was handing her a used tampon and then made an obviously "annoyed" sound.
She probably smelled the cigarette smoke on you.
ha ha.

Now if she turned on her heel, said HMMPH!, rolled her eyes, and marched off, hair swinging to and fro, you just met Jan Brady.
It was certainly a scoff. I held out my hand and she kind of rolled her eyes and looked at me like I had no home training. It was the equivalent of going to someones house and saying "oh.... how... quaint."

This is old but I was out with friends and we were discussing "haunted" houses that have sold (like the certain one in the DMV). Anyway, a friend mentioned the CO house. Would you live there?

She was white but I suppose she could have been Muslim.

Extend your left hand when meeting someone if your hands are full?
This mom at the park was extending her right hand and introducing herself as my son was pitching a fit. I was trying to wrangle him and the stroller and she kind of scoffed at me like I was somehow low class for extending my left hand to her right one.
Would you take offense to this?
