I swear, my new co-worker pisses me off
I'm trying not to be too hard on her cause I think she's just scared and trying to fit in, but she's a toucher. You know what I mean? Those people who touch you when they don't need to during conversation. That and a forced laugh make me not trust you very much. And she's going out of her way to do things for people, but to a point where you think she's not being straight up.

I don't like it... grumble.

3. Let me guess...
...if you were to do the same thing to a woman in your office, you'd be in deep shit, right?

6. No, it's not that kind of annoyance or touching
It's the "Hi, I'm your fake friend!" Kind of touching. That's what gets me, I FUCKING HATE insincerity. It really puts me off and gets my guard up.

8. Ah.
I don't have any advice other than pulling her aside and saying "look, I'm not the touchy-feely type," but man oh man do I sympathize. One of my co-workers is a major toucher and calls everyone "baby doll."

14. Oh, I forgot to mention the quart of fucking cheap perfume she wears every day.
Worse still, she's the receptionist and delivers mail to our cubes, so she can't be avoided. Worse than that, she's the niece of the guy in the corner office.

Sorry, I don't mean to one-up you here, I'm just venting. Appreciate your indulgence.

9. Thanks.
I've had a shitty day, and your post cracked me up. You have no idea how much I needed that.

Now if you can get the cops to find my car...

15. I work with a toucher, too
I go out of my way to annoy her by standing just outside arm's reach whenever she's around. :P
