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

No, not appropriate. Unless you all are drunk.

No heterosexual man is doing that in fear of being me-too’d. They will be visibly uncomfortable if a woman does it to them out of fear that others perceive them as hooking up.

And frankly I don't want to shake hands with anyone either ever again and so I no longer shake hands.

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

Tapping someone on the shoulder to get their attention or patting their arm in sympathy is now harassment? I’ve heard it all.

You’re about to have your mind blown. When my colleague’s mother died, I hugged her and she liked it! She hugged me back and cried a little on my shoulder. Guess I should have stood there woodenly, bleating “I’m sorry for your loss.” I’m sure that would have comforted her.

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??!!

OMG of course it's fine.

If you are a touch-phobe or germaphobe, just express that issue and nobody will be touch-friendly with you.

Well obviously no one is touching kids at work. Why is a kid even at work?

Definitely telling that you skipped right over the children part to complain about it being considered harassment. Creepy men gonna be creepy men I guess.

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

I don't either, but I don't want to be touched. Sorry if that bothers you touchers.

Just don't touch people in the first place. I shouldn't have to ask you not to touch me.

You are conveniently leaving out the pseudo massage OP seems to be referring to in your indignation.

Maybe because that kind of touch doesn't belong in a work place

You should really stop harassing the women at your work, someone is going to report you eventually.

Where do you work op? There is no touching in professional offices. No hand shaking either.

Yes people should most definitely keep their hands to themselves no doubt!

These motions are definitely crossing unwanted boundaries ➕ if they continue - the person doing this needs to be held accountable.
