Tubular....NOT

So, I encountered him again at work: High-Five guy. I can't quite pin point the date when the high-five became too dorky for me to do other than at sports games, but I think it was when I could count my age on two hands. It's funny, I didn't realize that I was high-fiving him everytime we met, until it was too late. Now it's like when you forget someone's name, but you've known them too long to ask them what their name is (sorry dude in college, you know who you are, because you called me out on it once, and I ran away). Now, when I see high-five guy, I cringe while I have to high-five him, then I try real hard to get out of his vicinity as fast as I can, because I know he's going to try to high-five me again. Maybe if I carry a foam finger around at work it will make the high-five acceptable.

I disagree, high-fives are cool. Next time I see you, I'm raising this hand to greet you.

i'm torn on the high five. if it's ironic in a reference to borat, i can deal. if it's serious, it has to go. but hey, at least it's not a crotch grab in greeting. that would just be awkward. trust me, i know. i've tried it.

Note to self: make sure to have foam hand or expensive crappy American beer in a plastic cup in hand next time I see Rachel.

No, no, no.. Please refer to the Seinfeld episode where Putty keeps trying to high five Jerry. Hilarious and true. Get rid of the high five for crying out loud.
