    I could NEVER tolerate people touching any part of me when I don't even know who they are, or when they're coming up from behind.

    A couple of years ago, a coworker thought it was funny to come up from behind me, put his hands around my eyes, and say, "Peek-a-boo!"
    Instinct took over, and as a reflex action, I turned around quickly and decked him in the stomach as hard as I could. He staggered and flew backwards, and everyone had a laugh about it because I'm ex-military and this was one of my automatic reflex moves. The coworker even apologized and I never got in trouble.

    Needless to say, no one ever decided to try that on me again!

      I'm not ex-military, but I am ex-bullying victim and I would have decked the poor bastard too. That's completely uncalled for.

        ^ Ditto. It would be an automatic reaction to someone grabbing me from behind, simply cuz of having been bullied as a teen, it became my automatic reaction.

        Someone I used to work with had a man grab her when she walked back from a club. She sprayed Charlie bodyspray in his eyes. O.o Bet most people wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of THAT automatic reaction!

          I asked her what part of HER anatomy I could rub for luck. She and her friend looked a little freaked by that and scuttled off.
          Muahahaha. I love it!

          Hopefully it'll teach her a lesson to keep her hands to herself. PLUS you were busy talking to someone when she tried fondling you.


          And maybe it's me but... where did that come from anyway? I mean heads are rather personal and i can't imagine touching - let alone fondling - a stranger's head.

          plus it kinda makes my skin crawl imagining someone's hand touching my head without invitation - and without me knowing about it before i feel it.

            One of my coworkers at the supermarket job thought it would be funny to come up behind me and grab me around the sides while I was stocking a low shelf. He almost ended up getting a free sex change. I only missed him by about an inch. Like you said, it was purely reflex, and I didn't even know I was taking a swing at him until after I had done it.

              Kind of reminds me when I worked at the library. I would have complete strangers think they could ask me "what's wrong with your legs?" Well I always wished I could give them a piece of my mind, but I couldn't...especially since I didn't trust the library director to stick up for me (this is the same woman who seriously believed a tale by a patron that I was racist simply because I was enforcing library policy).

              If it happens now when I'm out in public, I ask them what's wrong with their brain.

                Heh, I LOVE rubbing the Hubster's head just after he's shaved it, but I'm married to him. And I still ask first even so, it's just polite. He doesn't freak out from random touching like I do, but it's his head and he gets to decide whether it gets fondled or not.

                Some people have NO sense or manners whatsoever.
