10 things I would not want you to do when you meet me

1. Punch me in the face
2. Pour pudding on my head
3. Try to convince me to join Soka Gakkai
I had a vague acquaintance who suddenly suggested getting coffee (we had only met once or twice a long time ago). She was super sweet. She started telling me about Soka Gakkai, and after our meeting I started thinking "Hm, okay, it sounded nice at first, but I'm getting weird vibes from this." Sure enough, Soka Gakkai is a type of Buddhism with a shady reputation, often considered to be a cult.
4. Ask me to tell you a joke
5. Try to manipulate me
6. Push me to consume alcohol if I'm not drinking
7. Invite me to CrossFit
8. Pinch my nipples
I can recount at least three occasions where this happened. Twice were by women, who both realized the double standard when I pointed it out and, if I recall correctly, they apologized. It was ironic because one of them was just talking about the problems of sexism or harassment or something like that. Another time was by a very, very annoying guy.
(There's nothing special about my nipples, and I was fully clothed each time.)
