Q: Dear 100 Hour Board,
I want to pinch coworkers at work tomorrow, St. Patrick's Day, if they're not wearing green. How weird would it be if I pinched, or even asked why they're not wearing green, coworkers who I don't even know but have seen around?

Dear Devon,
If you don't know these people, please don't pinch them.
Please.

Dear Devon,
I think you could tease people about not wearing green, but actual pinching should be saved for people you know well enough to have physical contact with in other situations.
On a tangentially related note, when I was about three years old I was very distressed that my dad wasn't wearing green to work on St. Patrick's Day. I was convinced that everyone at the accounting firm he worked at would be pinching him all day and I was in tears at the thought of that happening to my dad. He tried to reassure me by saying, "It's okay, I'm wearing green underwear." I looked at him with the typical disgust of a toddler who thinks someone is being ridiculous, and said, "Daddy. Your underwear isn't green, it's gray!"
My parents thought maybe it was time to buy some new garments.
