Tirade - Hugging


This was one of my first Tirades, but I think it worth repeating for the newer readers.  What the heck is with all this hugging?  Particularly among men.  Now I'm all for the usual handshake -  not one of those weird ethnic jobs that seem to have been developed in a Balinese dancing school.  But being grabbed by some fellow you've only just met is really an assault on the person.  If you were to grab women like that without permission I'm sure there would be repercussions.  I have managed to defend myself against such behavior by turning sideways at the moment I see the lunge coming and sticking out my hand.  It works in about 90% of cases.  But for the rest - Come on People!
