Would this bother you...

[kvanwert]

If they continuously picked it up without asking, yes that would bother me.

She does it all the time.  Turns it around in her hands and studies it.  smh

Ask them if they washed their hands with a stern eyeball look, than ask if they are thinking about your health, or you a friend or foe?

I am neither. She does it to everyone.  She is a co-worker. Nothing more.

See that's the kind of thing that's even worse in a way than outrageously wrong behavior which would be easier to confront. This is just weird enough to drive me nuts, but benign enough that I'd probably struggle for a long time about whether it was truly worth making a big deal about by asking her to knock it off (I hate confrontation)

Try setting out a decoy cup coated with krazy glue

Yes it would bother me.  You don't know if their hands are clean or dirty or if they have been sick and might possibly pass something along that would make me sick.

Ohhhh there is an idea. lol

Well that is another thing.  She is always sick.  She is the sickliest person I have ever seen in my life.

Lately if I see her coming toward me I will just move it out of her reach.  Others, one in particular, has said well I don't want to be rude.  My thoughts was it IS rude for her to touch other people's food or drinks.  And from what you all are saying I am not the only one who feels that way.

Strange - Have you ever asked her syyt she does that?

[countrygirl12]

No.  She is just weird. When I see her coming toward my area if I have a drink sitting there I just move it.

[annadote]

Yeah that's kinda weird. It would be one thing (and still kinda weird) if someone did this once, but to do this multiple times is odd. Maybe you should just talk to the person and kindly ask them to refrain from doing it in the future. Hopefully that will work.

Nah, it is coming to a head.  It is more of a "keep your dirty hands off my drink" kind of thing.  I think everybody has just kind of gotten tired of it.  Well except the one lady who doesn't want to make anybody mad.

[vickysue]

It would bother me  too. But I would say would you like this drink since you can't keep your hands off of it. Then I would order another and place it where she couldn't touch it. Maybe I am too out spoken but it is the way I would handle it.. Who knows she might take the hint.

[ancmetro]

   Some people just do not mind their own business.
   When will they learn...that "been nosy is very rude"?.

[timvolley]

this is very weird. Why  would anyone want to do this. WHy cant she just ask what you are drinking instead od picking it up adn looking at it.

[dsawan]

co-worker supposed to work not touch otha peoples stuff
