Permission

Seriously, can I slap the Union Square "Free Hugs" people?

  1. Oh God. That reminds me of the Seinfeld episode about the obligatory hug/kiss. I hate that. And in my world it is such a customary thing. Bleh. Get away. Let's shake and be done with it.

  2. Oh, and no, you cannot slap them. But you can indicate your personal space with wild hand movements that may result in an accidental slap here or there.

  3. LOL

    Imagine an encounter between these "Free Hugs" weirdos, and Alex' gang from Clockwork Orange.

  5. "You needn't take it any further, sir. You've proved to me that all this ultraviolence and killing is wrong, wrong, and terribly wrong. I've learned me lesson, sir. I've seen now what I've never seen before. I'm cured! Praise Bog! I'm cured!"

    Later my droogs. I'm late for my agressiveness training class

  6. See, I don't mind the obligatory hug/kiss. I was once set up with a guy who shook my hand at the end of the date. THAT threw me for a loop. If I'm friendly with the person, I don't mind touching them.

    The "Free Hugs" people bother me, because who the hell are they? Why would I want to hug them? What makes them so special? And they're usually dirty-looking hipsters, like white people with dreads (which I also hate because, dude, stop trying so hard -- the world is not impressed with how groovy and spiritual you are), so why would I want to touch them at all? Pretentious, presumptuous little shits. Go do some real volunteer work or something.
