I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Or, hypothetically, he's that plus one of your doctors. Actually, I don't feel bad, though. He's just too adorable and not really fluster-inducing, exactly. I bet 90% of his patients crush on him.
My Gyn is like that.
Yeah. Awkward.

Have you seen this at work? Because I find it really unprofessional to do this with someone I don't know personally.
Considering that about twenty minutes ago I was ready to take down a complete stranger for trying to high five me, I think I can say that if hugginess becomes de rigueur in the workplace, I'm going to end up unemployed in Greenland.
Google tells me that there's a National High Five Day coming up:
Yet again, I ask, what is wrong with people?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I enjoy giving and recieving hugs. But if anyone that's not my friend, family, SO or even someone I've been flirting with tries to hug me, I feel very uncomfortable. I had a couple people at my company Christmas party who'd had a bit too much to drink hug me or otherwise get a little too cozy with me and it gave me the wigguns.

Yeah, I'm not so much a hugger of acquaintances.
Well, but now you know if a woman is avoiding looking at you, it's because she has a mad crush on you. And is flustered.
Sure! That or she finds me repulsive.

My Gyn is like that.
Yeah. Awkward.
Perzactly. This is (mostly) why I've never had a male gyn before, but this one was a referral and is my gyn oncologist, so, you know. But, you know, right now my 78-y.o. mother and my lesbian sister also have crushes on him, so I feel pretty justified. (They met him in the hospital, lest you all think my family is weird(er) than it is). It's just... not quite as awkward for them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's a NYT Styles article-- a section that frequently publishes about a certain type of aspirational trend and makes you feel embarrassed for not being a part of it. Like Alex Kuczynski writing about buying things at Barneys. In any case, it doesn't happen at my work, though I've been known to buss some acquaintances in the city.

No one I work with better try to air kiss me.
Oh hells no.
ETA: and the moment I posted that, I remembered that I actually do greet one of our consultants with an actual lip smack when he's in town. But that's special, because, a) he's hot, b) he's funny as hell and I really like (not like like) him, and c) he's just that kind of guy.
But anyone else can back the fuck up.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Theater and restaurant/bar work - we hug & kiss all the time.
Office job - NSM with the hugging, oh hell no with the kissing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Going back to being oblivious and flirting for a moment, I just had to take the Westlaw Rep up to our new associate's office. NA is tall, cute, male, single, seems straight, and has a cute New Zealand accent. 2 seconds before we got to his door, one of the female associates cuts us off, then stands in his door way (really, she leaned into it-- her body language couldn't have said "DO ME NOW" more if she had been wearing neon) and completely fails to notice that the westlaw rep and I are standing behind her.
I don't know if NA was oblivious to her flirting or not, but I'm pretty sure he caught the rep and I making fun of her.
