writes:The shop where I work is pretty cramped, with a lot of people, often during busy times we will accidentally bump into each other. My problem is this, sometimes some of the guys (and girls) will gently put a hand on the waist to pass, or a small tap on the back/waist to apologise if they do bump into you. Whilst I don't feel like this is done in a Pervy way, I feel like my boyfriend the kind of person he is, would freak! I don't want to hide things from him, then again I don't want to upset my work colleages by seeming like I feel they are touching me inappropriately as they all give each other a gentle tap on the waist to come past/ apologise it's not just me, and I know he wouldn't bother about the girls doing it....Please let me know what you think.Thanks

 So, your colleagues, for your bf ,are not supposed to tap you lightly on your waist or back to pass you by in a crowded room.... what are they supposed to do, tooting a horn ??
I would not even bring it up, this is such a futility that does not bear freaking out or arguing about and probably blowing it all totally out of proportions. I don't feel that's "hiding " things, it's just not giving them an importance they don' t have.
If you happened to travel on a crowded bus or train, squished between two male passengers, would you feel obliged to immediately report it to your bf ?...

 Well if your boyfriend gets jealous that someone is trying to get past you, god knows what would happen if you cheated on him.
I'm sorry but this isn't even an issue, this isn't intimate touching, it's a way of getting past someone or apologising for bumping into them - Also, why do you need to tell your boyfriend about this?
Nothing to worry about...
