I think I hugged je55e last week when it was oppressively hot and I was kind of drunk after a conversation about glory holes.

don't get me wrong - who doesn't love hugs? (apart from my brother) it's the whole stranger in a strange land/professional acquaintance thing that can wrongfoot me.

I prefer loving punches over hugs.

I've become a hugger since I've been going to the dreaded Burning Man. Not so much before.
― nickn, Sunday, 26 July 2015 02:11 (eight years ago) link
greetings in general make me feel awkward and embarrassed, if i don't know the person.
otoh i get really annoyed when a man will shake ytth's hand and just sort of head-nod at me or something.

lol this reminds me of a dude I know who was bonding with a woman at some party (turns out she worked for h1gh t1m3s!) and somehow they ended up thinking it was cool to give each other black eyes

that sounds like displaced sexual energyhugs are different!!

I go straight for a snuggle, all-in or nothing
― irl lol (darraghmac), Sunday, 26 July 2015 23:24 (eight years ago) link
dayo, fyi, is not a snuggle and now I know that
This shouldn't be overlooked.

i've adopted a hugging policy to be done once and for all with the usual british uncertainties about it, but still when anyone greets me with more than one kiss it feels like i've been thrown into a particularly fiendish spatial reasoning puzzle

Maybe this should go in one of the many phrases you dislike threads but I am embarrassed by and for anyone who has ever said the words "easy tiger"

I only really have one opinion about Taylor Swift and it's really more of an indisputable fact than an opinion, and that is that every spoken aside in a Taylor Swift song is corny and bad

singers who *make themselves laugh* in the middle of a song, especially when the laughter is obviously rehearsed/overdubbed and the preceding line wasn't particularly funny, ex. Taylor's "go on too many dates--huh huh" Terence Trent D'Arby's "a riverboat gambler--hahaha" and Lorde's giggly "and you can watch from your window"

IA @ the woman who parked her car sideways across two handicapped spaces and sat in the driver's seat talking on her cellphone. I honked my horn at her 4 times, but I don't think she got the idea. she probably thought she was doing nothing wrong because she was inside the car and she could move if anyone needed the spaces. gtfo.

Lol I work with customer support, and a few times a day I finish a phone conversation awkwardly by saying thanks inappropriately, embarrassing stuff
― niels, Wednesday, 2 September 2015 08:54 (eight years ago) link
I had a bad habit for a while of saying "Sounds good!" whenever I was finishing a conversation with a higher-up about work. Like, higher-up: "I think we should do x, y and z, can you get started on it?" Me: "Sounds good!" Sometimes it would just be really inappropriate, like at the end of a conversation about bad news.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 2 September 2015 14:13 (eight years ago) link
Yeh, it's my customer service background and current work trying to make surly court clerks like me.
Yesterday it happened w/ a woman from the office upstairs while we were in the elevator. We were chatting about the full spectrum lamp she was carrying: Me: Nice lamp. Her: Yes, it's very useful for difficult jigsaw puzzles. You can really tell the difference in colors. Me: That makes sense. Incandescent bulbs are so orange.... Okay, thanks!
I wish I would just accidentally say "I love you" instead of "Thanks!" b/c at least it would be fresh.

I make an ass of myself in this way regularly, feel yr pain. I've even said thanks for talking with me :-/

my best friend is a well-liked, charming guy, and he likes to say "darling", but a few times out of habit, he's called me it by mistake, then been embarrassed. the faux pas is funny, even kinda cute, but him getting embarrassed then makes me embarrassed about it!
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Thursday, 3 September 2015 00:08 (eight years ago) link
jesse that doesn't sound too weird to me. But in my land we say 'cheers then' as a way of saying goodbye and it also means thanks I guess?

That olde english fiddle-di-dee accent that folky busker types put on when they sing. I guess they think it gives their music more authenticity, but it just sounds forced most of the time,
