Today, one of my regulars approached me at work, arms extended for a hug. He's always in a bad mood, so I figured for once he wasn't grumpy and I enthusiastically hugged him. Turns out he was just stretching his arms. He told me I was crazy and pretty much ran out of my store. FML

For all the people who think this is strange you have to understand hes been a regular at my store for 2 years. Its not like it was some random person. Hes so depressed and angry every time, so when I finally saw him for once not looking upset and like he wanted a hug I went for it. Silly mistake on my part but what can I say I always hope for the best in people. He came back today and apologized. See a friendly hug goes a long way. So you negative people need a hug.

Awh, that sucks OP. At least you're taking initiative to spread the love!

A+ for effort OP, Incomplete on the assignment though. Next time don't let go until his weeping and sobbing (and cries of molestation) break him down and then lead him to that happiness you think both of you are looking for.

I've seen that hugging until sobbing against their will thing done a couple times on comedy shows but I never understood it. It's still funny though.

Strange regulars, every store has them. I used to work at Michael's, and you wouldn't believe the kind of regulars we got.

she thought he wants a hugg . at least op is nice enough to hugg him .

I'm with you ocean, I wouldn't try to hug some random, even if they were wearing a "FREE HUGS" tshirt. Actually, ESPECIALLY if they were wearing the shirt...

try asking him before hugging him.next time .hes just weird running off like that .

FML has taught me to always verbally verify a persons desire for a hug before going in for one. Life lessons.

What kind of "STORE" do you have, anyway? I might like to drop in for a visit to your "STORE" as well, *wink, wink*.

You're just coming off as a pervert with no social graces. Even if you wanted one, I don't think anyone would want to hug you if you're going to act that way. And yes, I know it was a joke. Be funny, instead.

Hey atleast you didn't have to call 1-800-411-PAIN because he rammed you in the balls.

Whoops forget that comment. OP is a girl :P Sorry! boobs*

"What's wrong with hugging people ? I hug people all the time" "You may find it nice, but your coworkers might find it offensive" "You guys get offended when I hug you ?" No Abby "I'm hugging you all in my mind right now " NCIS

Well it was truly sweet of you to do so....so don't sweat it love

You tried to reach out to him and he wasn't ready. Maybe smaller steps next time :)
