I do not agree this is gossip. People talk about all kinds of stuff with other people. It is called sharing, chatting, talking, shooting the shit, whatever LOL. I don't think there was any malicious intent, in him telling others.
He was freaked out so of course he is going to share this with others in my opinion. I would too.
No different than right now, all of us talking about this. Do you think this is all gossip? If so, this entire site is full of it then.

It's gossip as it's talking about someone behind their back, not sports or politics. Yes I know players and politicians but I don't go around talking about my or people's personal experiences.

I work in the back with a Mexican who knows 0 English and a deaf guy, think I don't get frustrated? I don't feel the need to tweet my emotions to what happened to me that day. Maybe it's just me or we have different definitions of what's considered gossip but I could get in a physical fight and not tell anyone about it, you are right tho, people on here gossip about their day all the time (just like this thread) or the guy who saw the kid yell and yank on his dog's leash or when Urca saw that woman getting beat and both of them rather tell us about it than take action. Respectable reaction, Bud is acting like the dude grabbed his ass and like Fdd exaggerated calling it groping. The guy had an experience, apparently personal and couldn't keep it between him and the new guy that he just had to tell the guys about, to me that is legitimate gossiping.

if it was so innocent, why the need to keep it a "secret"?

"you look sad, let me hold you..." sounds like an advance to me. what comes next, if this happened on day 1?

Pull away and say I don't appreciate that and move on?

If it continues, then report it. It really wasn't that bad of a situation unless the guy was like dry humping him during.

that's your opinion.

some people simply don't like to be touched. why is it so hard to respect that? why does one have to be told "no"?

I didn't see the part where Bud pulled away, and even gossip..I mean hiked about the experience with his buddies so then everyone can judge him on only that. I doubt that was intension but humans are always evaluating people on first impressions.


Again, people who are truly like that are easy to see and would have pulled away the first split second. I don't care for a guy to randomly or hug me in general either but I wouldn't make a big deal about it in front of everyone, but yes that is just my opinion.

First impressions can and often do save lives. Our minds are complex things and we don't even fully understand them and their workings yet. This guy came outta left field imo. Completely, given the totality of the circumstances. Guaranteed he wouldn't have lasted anyway. Is he the type to possibly commit workplace violence as was suggested earlier? idk. But as for me personally, i'd want to know that someone was coming from left field and to keep my head up and eyes open.

You can't judge on that tho, some people look like pedophiles and the bit ends up being the dad being the molester. Even one of your friends at work could be the nut job, we don't always show our emotions so it's really arrogant to say "well that guy is just weird, prolly a psychopath, when he's just being genuinely nice. Yes maybe he shouldn't have hugged you but maybe nobody had ever told him "hey dude you shouldn't do that, it may make some people uncomfortable" because maybe the past people he has approached like that didn't seem to mind or kept it to themselves.

Yes blah blah blah, you like to speak how you feel but in the end, didn't need to progress to jibber jabbering to your friends, and if the guy did stay there, the gossip would spread and then the guy gets weird looks and people laughing behind his back.

Several coworkers witnessed this. Not like it was gonna stay quiet.

Guy got judged on his actions.

Rightly so imo.

Ah, didn't see you mention that until now, unless I missed it. Maybe if it was like after you got back to the group and it someone else brought it up, then I can see it your way but even still, only half but this because I don't like talking about others behind their back, so in a sense of others really did witness it and somebody else brought it up. Then I apologize (half way lol) that you took too much action to blow it out of proportion.


Still tho, you can't judge people on first impressions.
