There isn't a whole lot that's more uncomfortable than being mid-hug and realizing that person was NOT on board for a hug.Hyphen Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129843526632243730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-35616577974289275192009-07-06T22:05:05.247-04:002009-07-06T22:05:05.247-04:00I have to admit that I tend to straighten phone co...I have to admit that I tend to straighten phone cords and hug people whether they like it or not, too. However, I'm a little more careful than you are. I check for sweat rings and sniff the air before moving in for the kill.blognuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01161713516407124717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699321373090787934.post-19222376535368514142009-07-06T18:12:19.867-04:002009-07-06T18:12:19.867-04:00I'm such a hugger, too!

For example, there are several attorneys that I've known for many years who come and give guest lectures. I don't really associate with them outside of work, but I know them well enough to be comfortable and joke around with them when I see them. Whenever they come to visit the class, my instinct is to hug but I can't remember if I hugged them last time (in which case it wouldn't seem so strange to them) and I wonder if the students think it's weird to see their professor hug the guest. This also happens with students with whom I've become friends--am I supposed to hug them? I can't help it; I like to hug people I'm fond of! There is no cure at this age.dgmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784048338004578599noreply@blogger.com
