Student sparked internet craze after he tweeted a selfie "giving himself a high-five".

Seth Schneider's post has so far been re-tweeted 170,000 times, liked over 430,000 and opened the door to the next internet craze of people posting their very own attempts at a 'self congratulation selfie'. The South Carolina University student tweeted: "Today is the proudest day of my life. I successfully took a picture of me high fiving myself".The engineering student told student website Fresh U how he came to have this selfie game-changing epiphany:"I was sitting around my house waiting for football games to start and I thought to myself, 'I wonder if I can do this.' It took about a maximum of 20 tries. I wasn't really counting."

Seth has warned others who want to earn the high-fiving selfie accolade that caution must be taken and added a disclaimer to his Twitter profile: "I am not responsible for any broken phones".But that hasn't deterred people from attempting to claim adulation from the online selfie community, some have been more successful than others.

One tip the high-five selfie king has for anyone attempting this feat in a bathroom mirror is to place a pillow over the sink before throwing your phone in the air.
