[QUOTE="donna723, post: 46580, member: 1883"] I know exactly what you mean about the "touchie-feelie hugging types"! I'm not talking about within the family - with family members it's lovely, and it's sincere. But we have a couple of women at work who are "huggers" and it comes across as silly and juvenile. I'm not talking about teenagers here, these are women in their thirties and forties! One in particular does this all the time. Well, two of them really, but one is worse then the other. There are certain people that she has to hug every time she sees them, including several men! I'm not talking about a simple little hug! She squeals, she runs at people, she throws her arms around them, and gushes happily while they jump up and down ... like a reunion with a long-lost best buddy! Um, she saw these people like ... yesterday? And when they part, they're yelling, "I love you!" I've seen her do this to five or six people just on her way out at quitting time. Takes her forever to get to the parking lot. The whole thing is soooo over-the-top phony and sooooo insincere and juvenile - it gives you the feeling that we're all back in the eighth grade! [/QUOTE]
