While this would probably result in catastrophically ending life on Earth, let’s take this down to a smaller scale - how would this impact you in your own life?

You wouldn’t be able to pick anything up.
Even if you could put on your shoes, you wouldn’t be able to tie them, since knots depend on friction to hold together.
Velcro wouldn’t work either for similar reasons.
Once you accepted having bare feet, you wouldn’t be able to walk - walking depends on friction against the ground.
You could still get around but only by pushing against objects (which would then move in the opposite direction).
 Note that I say pushing, not pulling since you wouldn’t be able to grab onto anything to pull yourself.
Once you got moving, there would be no way to change direction other than pushing against other objects in your path.
Similarly, there would be no way to stop other than banging into an object with the exact same momentum moving towards you - a highly unlikely situation.
As a result of 6 and 7, the world would soon be filled with people and objects (and corpses - see below) moving in increasingly erratic and unpredictable patterns, making navigation even more unpredictable and painful.
You would probably die of hunger/thirst since you wouldn’t be able to pick up food or water.
 Your corpse would slide along until it decomposed (assuming decomposition still worked), bumping into things and losing bits and pieces along the way.
Even if you managed to somehow feed yourself and avoided being impaled/squished by moving objects, you would probably eventually die by sliding into a large body of water and drowning.
