When was the last time you gave someone a high-five and what was it for?

I was having an eye exam once in an office I had never been to before. It was your typical exam, extremely passive and consisting of me doing the bare minimum of sitting a chair, not falling asleep and keeping my eyes open - all things which I would probably be doing anyhow. When finished, the eye doctor exclaimed "Awesome job!" and stuck his hand up in the air. I was confused at first because he was probably 40 or so and I am young, but not THAT young. I believe I was 20 or 21 at the time. Once I realized he wanted a high-five, I sort of gently extended my hand toward his until our hands shared an awkward fender-bender quality meeting, anti-climactic at best. The sad part is that I need new glasses and am afraid to get my eyes checked for this very reason.

Why is this the funniest statement ever???

(i promise that recipe is coming soon, hurlo.)

Definitely not mocking, it's just that I associate the phrase "to completion" with euphemistic sex discussions.

lauren, I have a tremendous blueberry pie recipe, but it demands fresh wild blueberries. I will send it on in the next couple days, though.

like before they poop?

Chickachicka.

Oooooh yeeeaaaahhh.

I really want to high five somebody right now cuz I just overheard this conversation between two of my seemingly-square co-workers "where is the office stash?" "stash of what?" "office doobies! my brain's about to explode" (third co-worker wandering into convo) "I could go for one of those". Wow.

uh-oh

"High five". You take your victories where you can find them I guess.

I high-fived my daughter after our "performance" of Bowie's "Starman"

some tyke of 2 or 3 randomly insisted on giving me a h5 in the subway today, and frankly it was the highlight of a garbage day

of course for all I know he does this w/ 200 strangers per day

thus brightening the corner wherever he is

my 3 year old nephew, today, after he counted to fifteen on his own :)

One of my best friend's three year olds. Cos he guessed which item the Mousekatool would select on Mickey's Clubhouse

shanti earlier tonight because he guessed it was t.i. three words in

my wife and i were about to give up on finding the cat's worm meds and leave the store, when we decided to take a look at the dog section just in case. boom! there was one box of them sitting there! HI FIVE!

Last weekend, because it was how the barman wanted to put out the fire that was on my head.

yeah idk this happens all the time to me. kids etc. every one is awesome of course.

ironic high-five after winning a team game of two-headed giant magic the gathering

introducing myself to toddlers at work, "whats your name? fab, can I get a high five? and a low five? and a fistbump?" - the easiest way to win over a three year old boy is to let them show you how hard they can smack your palm it seems

I'm surely not the only person here who has never given anyone a high-five?

I've trained myself to not instinctively recoil in terror if someone tries to shake my hand, but if I'm loosened up with booze I'll shake hands/fist bump/high five with anyone, but only out of reciprocal politeness, not into any of this physical contact game at all!

Handshakes are AWFUL and i despise them

I do not want someones large sweaty hand gripping mine with a sore tightness in order to establish "a rapport"

I recall someone who once shook hands with Osama Bin Laden before an interview saying it was quite disconcerting because he had a hand like a "withered kipper".

I high five my kids all the time.

I high-fived a dog today because the young girl who was walking her was (rightly) proud of having taught the dog to high-five. I got a high-five from a dog, the dog got a biscuit from me, the kid got validation for her training methods. Everyone was a winner.

As someone said uphread, my wife and I high-five each others quite regularly for whatever reasons !
Also with friends during/after football games (on tv) or after a tennis game (irl).

Xp. Hah! Good work by that dog's owner.

as i walked past a booth at the mall yesterday a guy working there reached out to give me a high-five "for good vibes".

Every Saturday subbing on or off the field while playing Ultimate, though it’s really more of a low five.
