Tickling at the workplace

[Dandy Jack]

How many people play tickle games at work.

Or sneak in tickling your co workers...

I had a coworker who would always wait until I tied my hair into a bun, then he would gently tickle under my arms from behind me, trying to screw me up hehe

 

[Dandy Jack]

I would tickle you too! I would be the one with messed up work!

But I am quite sure I would enjoy that work day!

Thank you no, I like being employed.

Yeah I'd probably cold clock anyone that tried that on me at work.

 

[Wolf]

Not an issue. I like to keep my work and my personal life separate. Seen it happen plenty of times, though; usually it culminates with people hooking up outside of work, or someone ending up in HR.

 

[maniactickler]

I would do it if I knew the girl well enough. but I encourage everyone to do it on a regular basis and report results back here.

 

[milagros317]

Exactly. I know of at least half a dozen people who have been fired from my workplace over the last ten years for sexual harassment, some of which didn't even involve touching the complainant at all.

I think it all depends on the situation and your relationship with that person. I have tickled a lot of coworkers at work because the situation was good and my relationship with them was very strong. They were always playful tickles and done discreetly so no "busy body" would be offended. All of the ones I tickled had no issue with it. Heck, they kind of expected it from me. The nature of our relationship was strong and fun based so it never seemed awkward.

Every situation is not the same. I would never recommend doing it unless you know the person who receives it is totally comfortable with you as a person and the nature of your relationship would allow something like that. The vast majority of my coworkers I wouldn't dare do it because I don't know how they would take it.

Be very careful out there. Be extra cautious.

So, basically...Keep your hands off of other people unless you know it's okay with them, and be aware of who might be watching.
Makes sense.

Yep, it sure does. Think about what you just wrote. Keep your hands off of people (that's good so far right?) unless you know it is OK with them (meaning you got permission to do so).

Yep, makes perfect sense.

As much as I would like to tickle some of my co-workers, the risk just doesn't seem to be worth the reward.

Just to be clear, you know I'm in total agreement with you, right? I just realized that "makes sense" is sometimes used as a passive-aggressive response around here. Wasn't my intention.

 

[silktkl]

this depends on the work place, and the people, in most formal workplaces it would not be good ethicks, and may well be taboo, in a less formal setting in a lunch brake it may be feasable, i have found it does not bode well in general and a slapped face is not uncommon.

No worries, we are good.

Tickling at work is fine, you just have to be extra careful. I have a lot of experiences (damn, those were fun). But sometimes, some work environments do not allow it. That would be tough.

Tickling at work = sexual harassment, possibly an arrest and sex offender registration, and definitely a guaranteed way to wind up flipping burgers the rest of your life. Even if you think a girl will like it, don't do it.

Also, it's a total double standard. I work in a professional setting and girls put their hands on my arms all the time when talking to me, sometimes walking by me give me a little nudge in the shoulder. If I did that to a girl I'd be out on my ass.

As many have said already, it depends on the person and circumstances. In the fifteen years I've been at my organisation I've tickled many women - some were little pokes, others prolonged. Sometimes it's been well received, other times it's been misjudged on my part. Not that we should be allowed to tickle whomever we like whenever we like, but in these politically correct times you just need ensure that everything's in the right context.

Cheers, everybody,

Are you unable to vocalize your discomfort when they touch you?

 

[Dandy Jack]

I was asking if anyone is actually having tickling fun at the workplace?






Well is there anyone...

I work in a bar and a quick poke here and there is a daily occurrence, but it's more of a friendly way to get someone to move out of the way. I guess in most office jobs that doesn't really apply

 

[silktkl]

Fair comment DJ i would say there must be someone who is, i wish i was, but apart from one occasion i have never come across it in the work place where it could be classed as fun to be honest, it always seems like a millisecond encounter, interesting thread.love the cartoons by the way

 

[teamtickleguy]

I've only ever partaken in and/or witnessed tickling in the workplace between colleagues who socialise outside of the workplace and would consider themselves friends beyond their working relationship.

it has (and should) only ever take place 'behind the scenes' at the workplace - it would be inappropriate and unprofessional (as well as uncomfortable for the lee) if it was done in front of other colleagues/customers etc

To attempt any sort of deliberate/planned/prolonged tickling beyond those boundaries would be a silly risk (other than perhaps the sort of 'creep up behind someone who is blocking a doorway and giving them a quick poke in the sides to get them to move', but again only if the two people concerned are very familiar with each other and it's done at an appropriate time/situation

My answer to that straightforward question is "NO."

 

[Strider]

As others have implied, this strikes me as a solid way to get fired.

This is one of those threads where you see the gap between people who exist in the real world, and people who think the real world is exactly like the one they fantasize about.
