  • Heavy petting zoo

    So, yesterday, got called to help somebody over in patio furniture. A woman asking me several questions about a particular patio set, and stroking my arm several times. Umm, awkward?

    She decided on a certain set and had me put it on hold for her because she lacked a large-enough vehicle to bring it home.

    Now, this morning. Got a call to bring this patio set out for the lady. She reached over and petted my arm while I was loading the box into her SUV. When I finished, she offered me a high-five, which isn't bad, but then she stroked my arm AGAIN.

    I feel unclean.

    Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

      Yes, and don't people know not to touch people they don't know?

            ICK, ICK, ICK!!!

            People want to touch me all the time and I HATE it. I'll allow a coworker to touch my hair or my hands but everyone else HANDS OFF!!!

            I smoke. I've learned that if I field strip my butts and put them in my pocket, people are much less likely to try to touch me. I'd rather smell like an ashtray all day than to have people hug me because I got them food stamps.

              She didn't write her phone number on the pickup slip, did she?

                I had a coworker years ago that would come up behind me and start petting me. Cured the problem by kicking out at him. Telling him to stop would have been difficult as there was a language barrier (large Spanish speaking population here).

                        Yuck. I think the last time someone touched me at work was the weird lady who patted my hand and said something like "it's okay" like I was upset, when I totally was fine. And that was a while ago.

                          People do this to me all the time. Well, not literally. They do it conversationally (is that a word?).

                            That icky feeling is the same feeling I get around 'creepy men'. And creepy women, though for some reason they're rarer.
                            Seshat's self-help guide:
                            1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                            2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                            3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                            4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.
