High Five!

how i hate high fivers

[weblamer2]

DO you have any High fiver's at your company?

We have several at mine. We have a large sales section and alot of the sales managers are big on high-fiving.

I find it to be really annoying. Esp. when they accuse me of 'leaving them hanging'

[ritualcoffee]

oh brother - I know exactly what type of people you are talking about.

I once told somebody that instead of them giving me a high five/thumbs up for a job well done that I would rather they put it in writing so I can use it in my salary negotiations. :)

>>sales managers

Tell them that closing a sale needs to be a regular occurrence, not a reason for celebration. :)

Can't remember which coach or player it was but with regard to players celebrating in the endzone after a touchdown with an endzone dance or by spiking the football, he had this to say,

"Act like you've been there before". I like that attitude.

Remember when Puddy was selling Seinfeld a car? Hilarious.

Doubles Tennis players = high five after every shot. Even when they lose.

Irritates the hell out of me.

I believe that was Bear Bryant.

Couldn't agree more.

Swing for their hand then slap them across the face as hard as you can - apologize profusely and explain about your screwed up hand/eye coordination from "the accident" - they won't bother you anymore.

Lawman - beat me to that one!

You're a salesman now - and the high-five is.. it's very grease monkey.

>>>> very grease monkey.

We don't prefer that term.

A friendly roundup so we all get it straight and can get along. :)

• Ok, someone around here posted they hated the excessive use of the word, "that."
  
• Brett posted somewhere that it made him cringe when people ended their post by saying, "I hope that helps."
  
• weblamer2 hates "high fives."
  
• I have a thing about being afraid to get into the Webmasterworld swimming pool on the weekends...

Anybody else?

[roscoepico]

weblamer2, next time they try to give you FIVE, hold you hand out and when they go to slap it, pull it back and say, "Psyche!"

..hope that helps that;)

Martinibuster-

Don't forget Lawman and the misquoted old adage.

lol - where I work anyone making like they were going to high five me would get a blank look and an sarky laugh. But then, I don't think anyone ever would, apart from if they were taking the mickey.

Taking the mickey?

Taking the mickey?
