Had to pick between a handshake or a fist bump with my new boss

We finished our first meeting and he went for a fist bump while my hand was already halfway to a handshake. I panicked and ended up doing this weird hybrid pat on his knuckles. Has anyone else completely botched a simple greeting like that?

Remember that awkward hug-handshake combo? I did that with my aunt at a funeral once.

Read an article calling it a "handshake vortex." Apparently it's super common and people remember their own awkwardness more than yours. Your boss has probably already forgotten the whole thing.

My cousin still brings up my failed high-five from 2012.
