A big hug & a kiss on meeting should be a mutually enjoyable thing. The point of the advert, the context that everyone is mad about “they’re family” - exactly. They should know, then, that she doesn’t like it. It’s weird to keep forcing physical contact onto someone if they don’t like it. There are so many ways in this world to greet someone, but a great way to show love to another is to respect their feelings.

Boomers seem to think it's hilarious when you don't want to be touched and single you out for even more grabbing because of it. I'm touch averse autistic and its an ongoing joke

Honestly I feel like we almost never need commercials, but I would say an infomercial on how to be a better human being is something rather low down on my list of Things to Pick Fights With.

I wasn’t picking a fight. Simply stating my opinion that it’s weird. Ffs, is that ok with you, buddy?

So why are you asking if "we" need a commercial when you're not? It's an Irish commercial for Irish people. Someone posted it here cause they thought it was interesting.

Good thing you told me, shoot I really care what you think. You have value. You're a regular guy. Hell yeah.

Sure sounds like you give quite a bit of a fuck actually, given how strong of a reaction you had to this

Is being a little whiny bitch fun for you, this little exercise you’re doing?
