When women from work tell me

"Thank you sooo much for your help! 🥹"

I always want to respond with: "You owe me a hug"

What can I do... I'm a begger for hugs.. always wanting more, even that I have unlimited domestic supply of them.

Unless previously agreed on, nobody “owes” you anything, especially not an intimate physical gesture.
Demanding them in that way from *women* in your workplace is creepy AF. FYI.

@effy I know that.. sheesh.

I am not demanding a hug from anyone at work. If I've tried I'd be probably fired.
And it's ok. I get lots of hugs at home and I never demand for them...

Why did you think I'm demanding them?

I mean you did say "You owe me a hug". Maybe what you actually said was different in Hebrew, but it's weird framing for sure. 🤷

It's the same as in English. It's an inappropriate wish, but still it's just a wish.
I never asked for a hug at work, and it's not that my co-workers read my profile.
I don't get what's with the harsh response of Effy...
