quick shoulder rub, quick pat on back, quick circular petting on back

No! I don't like to be touched like that in a social or work setting . . . regardless of the toucher's intent. It's an unwelcome invasion of personal space.

Everyone is so weird about touch these days. No wonder teens aren’t having sex. First we sexualized nudity, now a shoulder tap. SMDH.

It's not necessarily a sexual thing. I don't want you to touch me---deal with it. Why are you compelled to put your hands on people?

I don’t even look at my coworkers anymore

remember when george jr did that to angela merkel?

He’ll no! Look if you do this to me, I will either move away quickly or grab your wrist hard moving your arm off me and say what are you doing! You will feel awkward and embarrassed or great pain in your wrist. No way will I politely smile and endure your creepiness.

I know for a fact that they were not done with harmful intent but still wonder if people should just keep their hands to themselves??!!

Not acceptable at work or most social settings.

Crazy times and lucky we were never caught.

Or hugging at a Coldplay concert?

I never took any of my AP’s in public. Amateur move…

I rarely touch people, but I also don't get bent out of shape over a light, brief touch.

You don't touch anyone at work! EVER.

WTF? You are relating children having sex to being harassed at your job? What's wrong with you?

Great, stay not bent out of shape

But I remember this thing creeping me out as a young woman in the 90s.

Unless I knew the person as an outside of work friend, I don’t assume familiarity

And that is what a touch on the shoulders is. I wouldn't touch someone who is higher ranking than me in that way, so I extend this courtesy to those on the same level as me or lower.
