If someone points their finger in your face...

[DisneyPrince1982]

not making contact with your face, but very, very close, is it okay to swat their finger away?

 

[Meriweather]

Don't know if it is okay, but I would

Depends on the situation. If they're threatening, then absolutely. However, if it's just a person being inconsiderate of personal space, I might just step back and give them a strange look.

 

[NewRVLady]

I wear contacts so you are darn tooting I would swat it!

 

[usnuzuloose]

That means there are 3 fingers pointing at them.

What's the context of this interaction? If it's hostile to the degree that the other person is "coming at me", I'm already backing waaaay off. Peace-out; I'm not standing there and continuing any discussion.

What difference do contacts make?

 

[LiveYourLife]

It's rude no matter what the situation is. Yes, I would swat it away.

 

[Goofy_Disney_Dad]

No, hitting there hand would be an assault

 

[Disneylover99]

Nope. Just back away. Don't touch that finger. You don't know where it's been.

 

[Ceila]

I'm assuming your referring to a dispute between two people. No, I wouldn't swat the person's finger away. That would only serve to escalate the confrontation. I'd step back, make it clear that I won't tolerate being treated that way, and probably get myself out of there.

 

[Mizzoufan]

No, Hitting the other person will only make things worse. Take a step back and walk away.

 

[RDR_BU]

I would back up or swat their finger away. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Not sure if I would go all "Test Track" on the person even if I had my umbrella with me.

 

[ols386]

I've had that happen before. I didn't swat the persons finger, but I did verbally question them as to why they were pointing their finger in my face.

Their response indicated that they really didn't even realize they were doing it, until I said something.

Regardless, it's rude to point your finger in anyone's face.

 

[TLSnell1981]

Nope. Not putting my hands on them.

 

[DisneyLuver2013]

It would probably be an involuntary response for me to smack their hand away. If anything gets too close to my face, I bat it away without even thinking about it (bugs, etc). Probably not a good thing, but I can't help it.

 

[jdb in AZ]

Nope. Not putting my hands on them.

How about putting the "bite" on them?

 

[LoveThatMouse!]

Is this what allegedly started the Brawl at Test Track...?
Did Goofy put her fingers in Navy Sundress Lady's face and Sundress Lady swatted the said fingers which provoked the Umbrella Assault?

 

[EMAW_KSU]

I sometimes feel like I am getting a finger waved in my face here.

 

[TLSnell1981]

No way!!! I don't know, where that finger has been!
