Conversation in the nurse's station about the long-term effects of growing up with parents who force you to give weird Aunt Gertrude a hug and kiss, even if you don't want to:
Coworker 1: "Just because a coworker asks for a hug, doesn't mean you have to give it."
Coworker 2: "But it feels rude not to. I don't want to offend someone."
Coworker 3: "No! You shouldn't have to touch people you don't feel comfortable touching. Forget if they feel offended, they need to respect your bubble."
Coworker 1: "See, this is how women get raped."
Coworker 4: "And how kids get herpes!"
