    Huggy-wuggie-touchie-feelie

    Are you a tactile person? Do you tend to touch people? Ruffle their hair or pat their backs?

    Now I tend to start making involuntary growling noises if anyone gets within three feet of me. My personal space gets invaded strictly at the offender's peril. Unfortunately I work in an environment stuffed with ambitious go-getters who read "The one minute manager" (and believe it! Fools!), and have taken particular note of the vital importance of touching workmates to show solidarity and empathy.

    That's probably not the best move to use on one who's instinctive reaction is to go for their eyes. So how do you bunnies feel on this issue? Do you do it? Do you enjoy being poked and prodded by colleagues and managers? The bastards.

    If they are young attractive women, then yes. If it's anyone else, then no. That's the answer to both questions.

      I sometimes pat people on the back.

        It depends. I don't mind if the other person is a friend or an attractive woman either way. Otherwise, depends on what kind of touch it is.

          I don't care whether the patter in question is male, female, or some weird and "specialist market" state in between. Unless I've given express permission beforehand, I don't want anyone touching me.

            Touching workmates shows solidarity? Do you work in a communist porn set?
            Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

              Personally, I don't mind if someone touches me. If I like them, hugs are pretty nice to get.

              Getting my *** grabbed several times, after I've warned someone would not fly. Especially if it's a guy.

              I do try to shake people's hands, and that sort of thing without being asked.

              Does your edict specify handshakes, Laz?

                        Very much dislike it. I never make physical contact with my family, let alone other people.

                        I enjoy a large personal space. If in a conversation it can get very annoying when after inching back to a comfortable distance the person starts inching forward to close the gap I just created.

                            Grudgingly. However if they try to use both hands, or hold on too long, I tend to find myself looking around for the nearest makeshift weapon.
