I don't like being hugged!

Snapped this one today as I hugged some friends at the top of the SPACE ELEVATOR! Don't mind the rocket ship I'm attached to.

I was thinking about this, and oddly enough, I had a great idea. If you don't want someone to hug you, you respond with an even more outward show of affection to turn them away from their own hug attempt.
1. Open arms up. 2. Tilt head to the side and eyeball your hugger in the eyes. 3. Open mouth and stick out tongue. 4. Wiggle your tongue side to side and make "Lllll" sounds.
To the OP, try it next time.

No, believe it or not, some people see this as an open invitation to affection. The op wants none of this. My continued advice is to be scary. Tattoos, piercings, and weight lifting does wonders.
