Hershey...you mentioned than a woman was holding on to people while talking......I cannot abide anyone touching me without my permission...case in point....
This past weekend we were at the SB county fair with the kids and grandkids. In the crowd was a person dressed in a weird costume with huge red lips. It/he/she was grabbing people, hugging and kissing them! Who knows who was in that suit? I was watching it and just had the feeling it was going after me next, so I started walking away. Sure enough, I felt an arm go around my shoulder. Faster than I could think about it, I elbowed it and said "back off!!!!!" It threw it's arms out and backed away, as did I. My grand daughter said "wow grama, good for you! He's creepy" A few minutes later, we saw it again....this time it bowed and waved us on.
Moral...follow your gut feelings...never allow someone to bully or take advantage.
