Perhaps “Please hug me,” “Please ask first,” and “Please don’t hug”?
I kind of assumed that given the existence of an explicit “no hugs” and an explicit “yay hugs” sticker, someone with neither would count as “please ask”. But apparently this wasn’t a universally shared assumption.
I would assume someone without a tag is operating under normal protocols, in which asking people to hug them is often weird.
But so is hugging strangers.
(And the “normal protocols” differ from place to place, so in an international meeting...)
