Today, a cute girl was walking towards me. She held up her hand for a high five, so I also did the same. I hadn't noticed her friend behind me, and was left hanging and embarrassed. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was walking down the hallway at work when I saw a coworker I hadn't talked to in a while. I went for a high-five as a friendly greeting, but she didn’t see me coming and instead awkwardly grabbed my hand like she was about to hold it. We both froze for a second, and then awkwardly sighed and practically ran away. FML
Today, I was at a local restaurant. The girl that I like walked by so I tried to give her a high five. My hand ended up on her boob instead. FML
Today, I saw my ex and his new girlfriend walking towards me. To make things less awkward, I tried to be cool and give him a high five. He misjudged and went for a fist bump. I ended up slapping his hand, and it felt like it lasted forever, all while she just smirked at me. FML
Today, I was approached by the head cheerleader, and she asked for my number. I was so excited that I gave it to her without question. Then she smiled, and walked away. Too bad my girlfriend was right behind me when it happened. FML
Today, I was at a volleyball game talking with my friends when a girl who is in my team arrived. She was greeting someone else but I thought that she was saying hi to me. However, I'd already waved back at her. All my friends and others noticed the situation and as a result they laughed at me. FML
Today, I had a meeting with my team, and at the end, we were all excited about a new project. I tried to be casual and give one of my coworkers a high-five, but he didn’t see me and started walking away. I awkwardly high-fived myself while hoping anyone else didn't see me either. FML
Today, I went out to lunch with two old friends from high school. While at the restaurant, we saw a girl who we graduated with. The girl gave both of them hugs, then introduced herself to me. FML
Today, I went shopping with my cousin. Walking down the road, I heard her say "Can you hold my hand?" I was confused, but thought it was cute, so I held her hand and kept walking. It turns out she'd asked me to hold her bag. We didn't say another word after that. FML
Today, I finally gathered up the guts to say hi to the girl I like. As I was walking down the hallway, I saw her and waved hello, only to walk into a bathroom door. FML
Today, I was at a store when I saw a cute girl from my school. Trying to act cool, I went to hold the door for her. Too bad it was an automatic door. FML

This reminds me of a time I saw a guy obviously trip, then he started dancing a split second later. It just took things from awkward to really awkward. Still, I thought it was great.

Or when you say hello to someone who has a Bluetooth set on and you realize you weren't being spoken to.

Dumb shit, people still high-five.

If you are still giving high-fives to girls you will probably stay a virgin for the rest of your life.

If you make claims like that, you will probably remain ignorant and stupid for the rest of your life.

You're going to spend the remainder of your life with a popped collar, imagining that you get pussy everyday, but it actuality, you are seen by society as a tool.

It happens to the best of us! Just turn your high five into a wave as you pretend your greeting a friend !

And then a person standing behind her thinks you're waving at her and waves back, but realizes you're not waving at her and pretends to be waving at someone else, and then the person behind you thinks they're waving at them and so on... and so on... creating a never ending wave of awkwardness.

You see a cute girl walking towards you with her hand up and you just assume she's trying to give you a high five?

You should have said "Look, a distraction," and took off running.
