Don't expect a hug from Jerry Seinfeld, even if you're another "celebrity"

[True Dough]

Are you okay with rejecting a social convention like hugging? Does the "hugger" have a right to try to force a hug on the "huggee?"

So many Seinfeld-esqe questions.

1. Seinfeld once said he has autism

Not sure if he really has it or not, but it is certainly something an autistic person would do.

4. He did take back that comment

2. 'Sorry' I missed it, I guess.

I was there last night, @ Kennedy Center. Guess he didn't meet her before his appearance; she sang before (and after) him.

3. He shouldn't feel obliged to hug someone he doesn't know

He's pretty well known as a germaphobe. He hugs close friends though. He shared a warm hug with Gary Shandling when he appeared on Jerry's web show.

5. I would have reacted the same as him

I would have been completely creeped out by such an unexpected invasion of space.

6. What a jerk. nt
