I am sincerely glad to be back at choir but my gods, there has been an entire global pandemic and yet people at choir continue to randomly touch me.

There is no one in my life I want putting their hands on my small of my back. I don't understand why it isn't a universal rule that you don't do that without discussion.

There's a particular kind of Older White Lady that appears to think that casual touch between apparently-female acquaintances is completely okay and always welcome, and my choir is full of them. They're all very nice otherwise, but still.

The worst part is - well, no, the worst part is the touching itself. But the second worst part is that, somehow, if I flinch or take a step back or say something, suddenly I am the one who's committed a faux pas. Ugh.
