You must have worked in tv too. Do you also get irrationally upset at people who say they filmed something with their phone? I do.

For me it's the opposite. I'm not a huge fan of hugs, but I am a huge fan of awkwardness so I'm 100% going for the co-worker hug. Let's do this, buddy. Hugs!

Why do some people always want to hug everyone? I sympathise with the news presenters who want to preserve their personal space.

Some people like hugs, some people don't. The way these newscasters go about the conversation is kinda disturbing, though. Why wouldn't the two of them discussed ahead of time how they felt about a hug? Oddly inconsiderate.

Not talking ahead of time to a co-host who may be wrong risks humiliatingly revealing, and failing to respect, their severe disability on live television.

Note that most of these clips are of women being alarmed by the threat of being pressured into touching their male co-workers.

Is it something about newscasters specifically that makes them all vehemently and collectively "not huggers"? I'm not a hugger, but I can get it up for people who are or if the moment calls for it. This reaction is intense.

Actually they're closer to sociopaths. I uses to work in news. On air people are the worst. I watched a whole newsroom get excited because there was a big wreck on a slow news day and they got some good video.

Haha, I like all the discourse in the comments. Its either 100% agreement or 100% disagreement with the news anchors. I think I might be in the middle. On one hand, its just a hug On the other hand, men do like to get overly touchy feely when given the opportunity and I'm guessing these women arent comfortable with their counterpart who they know quite a bit. (And of course the situation exists in the other gender direction, just speaking most typically.) I've always been more introvert than anything else, but have a group of friends where we all hug for hellos and goodbyes. (Because its just a hug.) But it would be weird if I was on the job and told I need to hug my co-worker because its the official day for that, lol
