Sherri - the answer to this is quite obvious, I think. STOP, DROP, AND ROLL!!!!!! OF COURSE!!!

I think the answer is dependent upon who’s touching me.

Would the person touching you stop, drop and roll with you?

I agree with JC. As luck (or lack there of) has it; this very incident happened to me just today, involving a member of the same sex as me! My instincts kicked in and… remembering something I had heard on KTBS 3 News, I started screaming (attracting attention) & flailing my appendages and attempted to run away. Luckily there were semi-alert co-workers nearby who heard my cries for help and looked at me like I was having a siezure; which quickly stopped said offensive action by the perp who immediately fled the scene. I am now seeking psychological couseling and will be in out-patient rehab for several weeks. Thanks in advance to all concerned about well-being. Lesson learned?: BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS!!!!

Yes, Big M. And next time, leave your purse locked in your trunk.

Depending on the situation, I’ll generally go with option #3 or 5 or a combination of both with a just a smidgen of option #1.

If someone touches me inappropriately at work or any other place, I’ll either encourage more touching or deck them, depending on what they look like.

Instead of the promotion I’d ask for a raise and less work for keeping my mouth shut.
