    Who actually pays for a hug?

    *carted off by Gardaí on Saturday for forcing hug on women*

    Celibate kerb-crawlers.

    If some randomer tries to hug me on Saturday ... I won't be pleased.

    I might think they are a bizzare type of pickpocket and react accordingly.

    *note to self - avoid Grafton St this Saturday*

    In this current climate I don't think I can guarantee I'd let go.

    WEIRDOS!,when I shop,Im like the Flash,I fly in,grab what I want and fly out again,dont want strange people trying to touch me

    We all know the proper time and place for free hugs is at 4am in a field somewhere at a music festival.

    It'll be interesting to see how this is taken by stressed-out Christmas shoppers.

    Keep your hugs to yourself! It's bad enough having to deal with 'chuggers' without having the hassle of huggers also! :(

    If someone I don't know tries to hug me on Grafton Street this Saturday, they had better be prepared to be pinned to the paving with my knee on the back of their neck.


    PS - welcome to boards.ie. :)

    ^ What he said. :D

    Why would you want to hug me. What have I done to deserve it....you don't know me. You don't know anything about me. You don't call. You don't write. Oh I can tell you where you can take that hug, yeah all the way up......

    etc, etc. Sarcastic rant over.

    I saw the free huggers at it in Auckland last year.
    It seemed to be the case that if one person went for one, then that generated a few others.

    In Dublin it could be closer to this:
