Omg hugging is my worst nightmare, even with friends. One friend hugged me once (pre covid) and I stood there stiff and asked if she was OKCyclists on the pavement when there is a perfectly good bike lane (recently covered, no potholes/debris) right next to the pavement. Esspecially when they come up behind me in my blind spot and then look annoyed that I didn't realise they'd be there.
Strangers who tightly hug you the first time that they meet you (such as in a new job or at a new social/hobby club.) Esspecially if they want to kiss you on the cheek as well. If people want to hug when they are friends with me that's one matter but, if I don't even know your name, why are our chests pressed together with your arms around my waist?
