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

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!

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-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).

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