2009The Art of the Awkward Hug: Tips and Tricks For Hugging People in The Gym
Filed Under (Equipment Experiments) by Admin on 01-07-2009

As if being in a gym setting isn’t opportunity enough for physical awkwardness – I have, actually, walked into the men’s locker room by accident twice – but add being pregnant on top of everything and it can make life very… touchy. Fortunately I’m not overly sensitive to touch. You’d think with my history of inappropriate touch I’d be all weird about it but for whatever reason my issues lie in other areas (like getting overly offended at burger joints suggesting I must fellate my sandwich to properly enjoy it (I wanted to do a whole post on that stupid ad but couldn’t bring myself to actually post that pic. (Hey, triple parentheses! I haven’t had this much parenthetical fun since I taught math!))). At any rate, I don’t mind at all when people pat my “bump” or throw their arm around my shoulders. In the right situation, I’m even a fan of the sweaty hug.
