Don’t Touch People

|

As I left a lunch meeting in Snider Plaza today, a raspy-voiced older woman hollered to me, “Ma’am.” I turned and she said she wanted to see my necklace (which wasn’t anything special). She approached and TOUCHED it! While it was on my neck. A stranger.

It was odd and uncomfortable so I casually backed up and thanked her with a half smile/ half get your hands off of me grin.

Lady, don’t touch people you don’t know. And are you a purse snatcher or something?
