Free Hugs in town

    Was in town a few months back and there was a group of people outside the stephens green shopping centre, there was about 10 of them,boys and girls,mostly teenagers,maybe a couple of them were early 20s.they had the same tshirts on and signs saying free hugs

    Some people were going up to them hugging and then chatting to them for a couple of minutes.. i woulda went over for a hug but i decided i had nothing to say to them so it would be weird just hugging them then saying thank you and walking along on my way,ive been thinking if i saw them again id go over for a hug.....

    Just wondering what other people opinions are on this,would you hug the strangers?
    Would you hug the boys or the girls? im a guy but i probly woulda hugged a guy,it would feel less awkward for me..
    Would it make your day any better?i guess thats why they were doin it..

    And lastly,would you be cheeky and grab a little ass while your hugging or is that not allowed in such situations?

    I've heard of people getting pickpocketed etc by the 'free hugs' thing. It's getting a bit old anyway.

    I wouldn't.no point,awkward hugs are awkward and no good. Good hugs are squooshy.

    Saw some people with signs in Liverpool St Station in London.

    Which town?



    The concept has been around for quite a while.

    One hopes they get better music.

    I dunno, its a bit of a dodgy thing to do. I tried it outside a Primary school and it did not end well at all...

    Meh. I don't want to get hugged by some scruffy Australian hippie.

    I'll wait til a hot chick with big jugs is participating.

    I would put a large carrot down my pants and approach both the boys and girls and give them a nice big long close hug.

    Probably give a little groan in their ear to make them feel special aswell, seeing as they are providing such a valuable service.

    I have a t-shirt that says Free Hugs.

    ... It's a charity top though. So that doesn't mean you creeps can hug me if you see me, or something.

    I once saw a group of teenage males aged between somewhere between fifteen and eighteen with a hand written sign saying "free hugs". One of them said "do you want a free hug?". I didn't want a free hug and I didn't feel like explaining why I didn't want one so I walked past without saying anything.

    Has anyone ever paid for a hug by the way? Has anyone ever gone to a prostitute and asked "how much do you charge for a hug?"?

    Thats false advertisement, and you know it. I want my free hug :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 236 ✭✭dominiquecruz


    I dont need a hug. If anything, hugging a stranger would make me feel worse about myself. Free money or something; deal.

    A Bear hug could fall under the asphyxiation section of S&M so a hooker could have a price,it will vary from area to area.

    yeah you should probably avoid the ones down alleyways with a sign pointing down it saying 'free hugs today ---> '

    Thats why you shouldn't hug anyone in town.

    Maybe Hugs is a wrongly convicted baby killer, like Hat?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,987 ✭✭✭ottostreet


    Why in Gods name would you want a 'free hug'?

    What a load of bollocks.

    a) You've decided you don't want to have to carry around the extra weight of your phone and wallet.

    b) You're equally as retarded as the huggers.

    Regarding people picking your pocket while they are hugging you or just in general as they brush past you in a que or soemthing, people should learn to keep their money in their sock.no chance anyone is gonna be trying to take money from your sock,youd spot them a mile off,they wwould wana be some kind of crazy ninja to get away with it

    So the bill comes at a restaurant and you pull out sock money- classy.

    Is this some kind of Facebook hipster nonsense?

    Free hugs whilst doing a zombie walk to promote my blog about the plight of orphan children in Tikranistan?
