Good question. Is she thinking at all?

It’s OK to make a scene.
She can see one in the mirror.
I usually have pretty obvious breakdowns in my facial messages and give out death stares that scar the touchers soul.
I was once interviewing a few people in a situation much like this one (except no cameras). One of the guys kept grabbing my arm to “get my attention” so that he could dominate the conversation. The third time he did it, I calmly gave him a dead-eyed stare and used my other hand to pick up his hand and place it back…
nope. white guys can do whatever they want! didn’t you hear? boys will be boys!
Something so unimaginably bad we don’t want to know I gather....
This happens to me at work all the time, so it’s a constant balance of standing up for myself while still being customer-service-polite. What’s been working lately is when I see them coming in to touch, I dodge them by taking a step away. Decent (but oblivious) guys will stop in their tracks, though I did have a dude…
What the fuck? Dudes. Didn’t their parents and hired legal teams teach them this shit is not okay?
mic drop!
If someone touches you then you tell them “please don’t touch me” if people around you get pissed off or seem offended then its a group of people you don’t need to be around. I am a man and I don’t let people walk up and touch me, I don’t do it to others unless I know they are okay with it. It is hard to engage but…
i had a coworker grab my little sister’s ass at a holiday party.
Depends, if it’s someone who isn’t a creep, I just say, “OK, I hear you” because some people are Touchers and only want your attention.
Right? Like I’ve never sat down and written a list of what I think makes a real monster but if I did I’m pretty sure raping a child, especially your OWN child, would be at the top of that horrible fucking list.
It would have been awesome if Burnett did the “get your fucking hands off me” here, but I think pulling away should be enough to send the right message (though no message should need to be sent because it’s absurd and gross to just grab onto someone for no apparent reason).
you say excuse me, give him a withering a look and you remove your skin like a fucking boss.
I once said to someone (coworker; not someone I was close/friends with), “I don’t like to be touched” and she seemed really offended. She had come up and put her arm around me and squeezed me to her so that our hips were pressed against each other. In the office. How about EVERYONE JUST KEEP THEIR HANDS TO THEMSELVES.
I learned an amazing trick to get a man’s vice-like grip on your arm to immediately release. Do not grab his wrist and tug — he is stronger than you are. Instead use your whole hand to simply grab one finger - the middle finger is best but any will work — and pull it backward away from you. It will give easily and…
Stability is very, very difficult to simply give up. And, she’s not the most inventive person out there.
