High Fived the Bus/Taxi Que ?

Has anyone ever given a high five to the people who put there arm out to flag a Bus / Taxi ?? On several occasions now i have been riding home and have been sorely tempted to "High Five" them as i go past just for a laugh. Two things have stopped me :

1) They may grab my hand and i'll be fooked
2) Could it be considered assault ?

I've shouted "Sorry there's no room on the back" to poeple flagging down busses. It's usually met with a confused look followed by a little smile.

It always crosses my mind, but usually spit at them instead

Ha!
I'm always tempted to stop and ask where they're going..

I have also been massively tempted to do this.

I did grab the end of some guy's umbrella the other day though. He had it under his arm while standing on the pavement and it was sticking out into the bike lane just at cyclist's eye level.

I've done the nazi salute thing and waved and other random things.. I'd never contact anyone.. you don't know where their hands have been..

People claim they do it all the time (on here). Never seen it happen.

I once did hit a guy in the back while he was walking in the bike lane in front of London Bridge. It was meant to be a nice tap ont eh back to remind the guy people are actually using the bike lane, but I forgot to take into account my speed.

Felt really bad, but wasn't going to stop. In fact, I burned it out of there as quick as I could.

That was me, I am in a wheelchair now.

That'll fucking learn ya, then, won't it? Won't be "walking" in bike lanes anymore.

I saw Spaghettihoops high five a lady in Shoreditch whilst riding past once - she wasn't happy at all.
We however thought it was hilairious

I sometimes tell them the bus has broken down round the corner just to see thier disapointment.

I did it on the way to the Coach and Horses on the GSIAD ride last December. I will admit to being two pints in and a little over excited. I did a Borat style shout of "High Five" just beforehand which seemed to be appreciated by the recipient.

It is a life-long dream of mine to do this to members of the unsuspecting public.

Yeah, I don't get out much.

I only do it while wearing gloves.

AKA UTFS?

By the way, I'm one of those people. I've also been in a bus queue and had it done to me, thought it was pretty funny, so did the people around me, so started doing it to others.

Did exactly the same in tooting (to someone walking diagnoly across the road) a couple of weeks ago... including the embarassed sprint out of sight...

i only have 3 fingers on my left hand so find this whole high five thread offensive

Go ride in france then...

I did it once, and as with Horatio, had not accounted for the speed element and gave his hand a stinging slap.

Felt like a bit of a cunt TBH.

I did a similar thing, more of a clip/pat/scuff on the top of a guy's head who just wandered accross Dean street without looking. I used my left hand which has quite a heavy silver ring on it, I heard the thud as the ring hit his skull, my hand barley touched his head. Air turned blue, I fucked right off.

HAUUUTs CINC

Mmm that could work, but what about my terrible stutter?

Ride slowly, by the time you have shouted HH...iigh F F F F F ive you should have just about reached the que.

I did it to some drunk girl who was screaming hi five at me once then go a cheer when I did it. I was also a little drunk. Always been tempted to do it to some suit though…

not sure we want details of these 'dates' you go on...

I normally say to myself "no room onboard", but then wonder if I said it out loud.

In fact I do this a lot, as in say things in my head then wonder if I said it out loud, especially while I'm listening to my iPod.

Does anyone else suffer from this?

No? Ok then.

Homer Simpson was a long time sufferer.

i gave a woman waving for a bus a high five once; she jumped back and had a little squeak in surprise, then she just looked a bit confused
