I am not encouraging this behavior but has anyone tickled someone they didn’t know with a positive outcome?

Can you guys elaborate?

I read it as we didn't want any inappropriate touching (tickling) in the workplace and then being reported to Human Resources for the behaviour. And with me being a ticklee I would quite happily have them reported to HR so that I knew who they were and they could tickle me🤣🤣

But if you're talking the actual scenarios in which the tickling took place in the workplace.....

For me i was working with a colleague and she was describing a tattoo either her or her daughter was getting down her back. As she was describing the pattern she was having she traced a single nail down my spine ever so lightly. I squirmed and giggled as it sent a shiver down my spine. She laughed and teased about how ticklish I was. I was so embarrassed but I loved that she found my weakness. Even though that was probably not quite an intentional tickle, over the course of that day she then deliberately tickled my sides. She even teased me further by telling and showing another colleague how ticklish I was by poking my side.

Another colleague i think unintentionally tickled me. Now he was more of an acquaintance than the others mentioned above and below. I was on my placement year at uni and was working for the same organisation as mentioned above. I had to have my uni tutor visit during the placement. I was getting really nervous and anxious about this visit as the tutor used to scare me. My colleague then came over and he decided to give me a neck/shoulder massage to help calm me down. Well i just ended up in a fit of giggles, leaning forward as he continued to "massage" my neck and shoulders. Even though it wasn't intended I'm just too sensitive there it just feels like tickling. He did find it amusing and did remind me he was only trying to relax me.

Another occasion, but this was after I'd been there a while, I had 2 different colleagues (one was my line manager and the other was my manager's manager) ask me the rhetorical question are you ticklish? But sadly with no action.
Once was when I was holding a cup of tea in each hand and was walking towards her about to hand her one of them. I just grinned and giggled. The second as when I was drawing on a white board- had to draw out a timetable for the senior members of the team. Was using a ruler and concentrating when one stood beside me and asked if I was ticklish. She took no action but I pulled a shocked face and laughed as i quickly moved my arms down by my sides as I stood to one side so she could pass me.
So although the latter two colleagues didn't actually tickle me the threat/ tease/opportunity was there.

Great stories 👏

As a Lee who works in HR I would quite happily have Lers reported to HR 🤣

I've also been on the receiving end of a quick tickle from a coworker. They've then usually used it against me further down the line in response to my sarcasm and banter. Which of course only encouraged me more. 😁

I must say, as a bartender Ler, the thought of an HR manager that's an undercover Lee is extremely hot, lol.

Can you guys elaborate?

As for elaboration. I tickle coworkers, but usually after some report is established. I'm a pretty tall guy, so I can give a hug and completely engulf someone. Having my fingers right at sensitive ribs is an invitation I rarely decline. I keep it quick just so they know I'm being playful, and also gauges they're reactions. I won't do it again if I feel like they actually hate it. But if it's playful, and there's a chance they're into it, then it's game on. 😉
Also at parties out here in California where slides and flip flops are worn nearly year round. If a friend leaves their feet dangling off of a chair or couch and I can do it quickly and nonchalantly, I'm gonna briefly tickle that sole and see if it's playful or tolerable. Some people HATE being tickled. Either the sensation just isn't their jam, or there's some very sick and unfortunate childhood trauma attached to it. I don't fight that.
If the response is negative I make sure they know I was just being silly and promise to never do it again.
But when it's cool.... friend, I have had full on tickle relationships with "work Lees." Just by being nice, funny, and having conversations that extend beyond tickling.
Really cool women I've worked with that didn't even realize how much they could enjoy it until I was doing it to them from time to time at work or way back when I was in college.
Just gotta pick your spots, be patient, don't be overzealous, and as much as we're talking about a format that can be creepy, don't be a creep.
People can see that you'll tickle them, but no one should be able to decipher that you have a full on fetish unless you tell them.

It sounds like you have a few true stories to share?

Ha ha I bet! Dream workplace scenario.

Sadly I'm not that important 😂 but it would still mean I could access information without blowing my cover🤣

Yes I have shared them in an earlier comment ☺️
