How I almost punched someone in the face today...

I'm standing and chatting to someone about something important to them, my back to a doorway and suddenly someone pokes my side.  ( side bar... I don't like people touching me unless I know them really well)... I turned quickly, fist cocked back and see the guy that has a crush on me, standing there with a stunned looked on his face... I shot him the look of death, and walked into my office...  and that wraps up my day! How was your work day?

Yikes! Nice save, Sam. I'm like you - don't touch me unless you know me. I hope he gets the lesson there!!

I am a person who can't stand my space being invaded, without an invite.So I know exactly where you are coming from...

I guess I'll go against the grain... I don't mind when people poke, hug, or touch me around my arms, shoulders, etc, as long as it is just a friendly gesture and not some sort of advance. But I agree, if you're not comfortable with it, they should've known better, especially if they have a crush on you... Part of me still wants to say that you should at least let him know that's what's going on; that you don't like to be touched by people outside your upmost family/bff circle, and not because you hate him to pieces. That's usually what death stares stand for, no?

Tanner, I've made it VERY clear to them that I don't like being touched by anyone other than family and life long friends... I gave him the death stare as I felt what he did was not acceptable... Trying to talk to someone about something was vital to them and totally disrupts the conversation...

I would find that very invasive, plus I'm a bit jumpy if I'm not expecting it - he's lucky you didn't break his nose!
I had not one, not two, but THREE supply EAs today...suffice it to say that I am SO GLAD this work day is over and SO looking forward to a 4 day weekend!!
