Thread: hi5

  1. #1

    Default hi5

    I hate high fives.

    I hate giving them, I hate receiving them, I hate being expected to know how the proper form of the high five, and I hate people who demand to be high fived after doing something retarded. Congratulations, you drank a beer without taking a breath. You don't get a high five for that.

    What are your thoughts and opinions on high fives. For those of you that only have four fingers, please remove yourself from my thread because you are absolutely useless to everyone around you.

    Fun Fact: This thread took 5 hours to make because I forgot about it.

    hand slaps (not necessarily high fives) are the understood greeting and departing gestures among my group of friends. in appropriate situations (i.e. with somebody I don't know that well/like), fist pounds can be substituted for hand slaps.

    I don't really care, so I answered "meh." I'm not one to initiate them, but if a friend gestures for one I just go along. Unless it's for a really stupid reason and then I just stare at them until they lower their hand.

    although I can't stay neutral on a moving train, I can in fact remain neutral to the value of high fives.

    It's not very common in my group of people. We don't touch eachother unless we have to rub sand into eachothers wounds, but even then we are careful not to maintain physical contact for longer than 7 seconds, which is how long it takes to become at least bisexual, maybe more.

    I hi-5 people quite a bit generally when working and we're joking around. I normally greet and part with close male friends using the whole hand clasping half hug gesture female friends I tend to greet just with a hug or in certain circumstances a kiss on each cheek.

    This would be true if it wasn't wrong.

    My hi5s are always weak, I don't like to give them. I prefer HUGZ.

    I prefer light shoulder punching. Any high five moment can be substituted with a shoulder punch and a comment.

    In my circles the highfive is a form of comfirmation that a joke was sucessful (also indicated by the uncontrollable laughter) other than that its not really used.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!
