Dear Bubster,
You are the hippest to the hoppist grandmother I never had, and most likely will never EVER have!
So here my prob.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
It all started when I was 12. My mom ordered pizza (spicy italian-cheddar-corn-jungle style) and I went to the door for the pizza and I had this sudden urge to hug the pizza guy. From then on every time I meet someone, they stick out their hand and I just have to hug them. It got me fired from my job once.
What should I do? Please help.

Dear Huggy,
If you have the urge to hug anyone you meet or anyone who comes to your door, the best thing to do is ask the person if he/she would mind if you extended a hug. That person would either go along with the joke or say NO.
That person at the door would also think that you must be a little "off". My advice is break the habit in a hurry. Keep your hands behind your back.
