Yea, I know you assholes are going to jump all over molestation.

Anyway, at work, are you one of the assholes that goes around touching everyone and not realizing that people like their personal space? Especially people who try to hug you or creepily fuck with your hair. Why do people feel the need to do this? Is it just habitual? Are you a needy cunt that didn't get enough affection as a child?

Thanks ahead of the time for all of the wonderful responses. loooooooove you.

Yeah, that shit is annoying.

10/21/2013 3:29:18 PM

I don't touch random people, but I do like physical contact with people I know (for the most part).

10/21/2013 3:31:17 PM

There is a guy here who does that, always wants to put his arm around you or something like you are his buddy. Always fun to watch the peoples faces who are disgusted by it.

10/21/2013 3:31:52 PM

There is one girl at work that will not leave it the hell alone until I give her a hug. I had to push her out of the way to leave the other day.

^ HAHA. I can imagine the faces.

I am really uncomfortable with touches and touching unless I am wasted (lol) or I consider you part of my inner circle. One you're in my inner circle though, I will dammed near crawl in your lap.

10/21/2013 3:40:38 PM

not a fan of casual touching. at all. i barely hug my friends. do not like.


my personal bubble is large. and i like it that way.

10/21/2013 3:53:58 PM

I had a woman that I used to work that did that shit. Three of us were all having a conversation one day, I felt like they were right on top of me so I took a step back. She said you really like your personal space don't you? I said yeah I do. Then she was a smart ass and moved closer to me. She's a weird enough person as it is. Freaked me out

who the hell touches people's hair at work? gross.

that said, i like physical contact...i'll hug my close friends (both guys and girls), but even if i worked with a good friend, i wouldn't hug or touch them at work...it's inappropriate

10/21/2013 3:56:06 PM

I seldom touch anyone, or anything that's not mine or public property.

I'm even reluctant to move people's coats, bags, etc. Like, if somebody's hung their coat on a soccer goal and I need to move the goal, I'll just slide the goal along with the coat still on it.

keep your filthy grubby hands off me and my shit, and I'll do likewise.

10/21/2013 3:58:07 PM

^ haha, same here - I HATE it when people touch my shit. I don't touch theirs. I even hate it when people look over my shoulder at work. You don't need to know wtf I'm doing.

I find its usually the opposite. Their parents were/are the same way as them. My family is very non-touchy feely, and this kinda thing bugs me immensely.

this seems to happen a lot, so you notice that the personal apace of a coworker has been violated, so the first thing you do is yap about it to everyone about how particular you are about personal space. WHY the hell is personal space such a weird concept for people???

I don't talk to my family 5 inches from their faces, why would I want to have work conversations that close? all I can think in my head after these interactions is how scary their family holidays must be... everybody up in everyone's face and shit talking at volumes that are not appropriate for the distance between the group

^+1 my mom always says she never held me enough because she knows of all her kids I like physical contact the least. My parents are probably on the end of the spectrum where touching was kept at a minimum, and I think that is why I think this way

haha, yea, but i just wanted to be a dick

my parents never even said they love each other and never said it to me

nope, but I'm not a weirdo that gets all wigged out over it either

10/21/2013 4:28:50 PM

I touch all of the hot dudes at work, and if they don't like it then it's prolly cuz they're gay or something.

10/21/2013 4:31:11 PM

being touched

how terrible :3

10/21/2013 4:31:13 PM

^ Why is it not a surprise that you don't have a problem with it

10/21/2013 4:37:23 PM

the worst is people who know you don't like it, but do it anyways because they think it's funny

10/21/2013 4:52:24 PM

and add people that hover over you all the time

"what are you doing" "what are you looking at" "whats so funny man" etc and then following that question they get up and hover you.

10/21/2013 4:55:07 PM

^^ yea - i've blurted out, fairly loudly, "stop fucking touching me" on several occasions - i think it eggs them on.

10/21/2013 4:57:43 PM

My parents weren't super affectionate. I knew they loved me, but they did not throw it around. That bugged me, so I make sure to hug my kids and wife and be more affectionate to them. But nah, I don't do that at work. Like my personal space, just want the wife and kids to know how I feel, even if I have had to fuss or been in a bad mood that day.

10/21/2013 5:06:41 PM

I palpate daily.

10/21/2013 5:08:46 PM

I hate strangers touching me

10/21/2013 5:10:02 PM

I think restaurant and hospital workers touch a lot. Usually it's because you're in a small space and need to get around someone though.

10/21/2013 5:14:03 PM

I'll pat a co-worker on the back or something, but thats about it. Being touched doesn't really bother me, but if I had my choice I'd rather not. Different strokes for different folks though. I've found that you've pretty much GOT to stay secluded in a work environment if you don't want to offend someone. Everyone is offended by different stuff, so no matter what you do...someone is getting offended.

10/21/2013 5:21:46 PM

When I think about you I touch myself.

10/21/2013 5:33:32 PM

as long as you're not touching me, we're good

10/21/2013 5:36:44 PM

I'm not one.

YES!



In all seriousness, I like hugs. And will hug anyone. But I normally let them hug me first. My bubble is tiny. And most of the time I inform people I like hugs. Unless you're that one bitch from work I cant stand. For her, my bubble is infinite.

[Edited on October 21, 2013 at 5:48 PM. Reason : hugs?]

10/21/2013 5:46:24 PM

Are you a touchér?

10/21/2013 7:32:27 PM

At work...? People do that? Where do you work and why are people that creepy?

But with friends, definitely yes.

that doesn't even make sense

there are no implications to be inherently drawn from my statement :3

10/22/2013 1:25:25 PM

I'm not a fan of touching, but I can deal with an occasional hand on my shoulder at work.

But I don't recall anybody ever touching my hair. That would freak me out, and I'm sure my reaction would show it.

10/22/2013 1:29:12 PM

I stick my hair into people's hands when I'm at work.

10/22/2013 5:23:09 PM

Touching is never appropriate. Unless you're fuckin'.
