Just left a quick signing and didn’t finish bc the signer slowly stoked my upper arm and lifted my sleeve. I ended it there. As I walked to my car, he spelled my name out. I’m serious. I’m shaken a bit. I let all professional parties know and handled. Be careful out there!

The signer doesn’t realize that their lack of self control
may have cost them financially
He should have waited until after everything was signed
and then asked you out to lunch or something

I am so sorry you encountered that; thank goodness you got out safely.
LOL, Isn’t that the truth. I’ve never had a signer behave in that fashion, but I have been asked out before. But no touchy feelie. That’s pretty icky.

@ewing_joe Predatory behavior has nothing to do with looks. And, personally, I think it inappropriate that you would point to that as any reason for one person to touch another. And, trust me, touching someone without their consent is predatory! I’ve been in the company of people who are creepy in their presentation as well, but never has anyone crossed the line and felt comfortable enough in my presence to touch me, unless it was a mutual handshake. Hopefully you reported him to someone. Title should be informed so that they don’t send another female to this address.

As it should be. Especially if it’s true. But, I am not suggesting that all encounters with men when they are alone are risky. I’ve had fabulous such encounters where we had great banter. There was one guy who was playing Johnny Cash when I walked in and I identified both the artist and the song. He told me he thought it should be against the law for anyone in America to not like Johnny Cash. My quip: “of course, it is downright criminal!” We both laughed and had wonderful banter during the signing. But my favorite was with a man who was a recent widower within the six months prior. He kept pardoning himself for not being as forthcoming with required documents or information because “my wife generally took care of such things”. I could tell he was still mourning and missing her presence. As we came to the end of the closing, I asked him, “what other things do you find you really miss about her?” That question allowed him to speak about her in a way that I believe family and friends were still gingerly tiptoeing around. At the end he told me he was getting much better at cooking. Then he said, “let me show you something”. We were signing at the kitchen table. He got up and walked to the refrigerator and opened the door. In it was a jello mold which he pointed to and proclaimed, “I made it all by myself”. We both laughed out loud when I responded to him, “you are well on your way Mr. Smith.” He thanked me for my time and my company. I’ve had more of those types of interactions than I have with creepy ones. Though, I’ve had my share of the latter.

Im old and fat and have not had that as a notary. As a new real estate agent, 41 years ago, it was common. I was thin, ran a couple miles a day, lifted weights , and had texas hair. Yep, most men dont get the super creepy and sometimes downright scary stuff we deal with as women.
I have never had anything like that happen but one time a signer (man) opened the door whenI arrived wrapped only in a towel Ewwwww!
I told him I would wait outside and he could sign on the porch after he was dressed.
I’m glad you had the gut feeling to leave. So much better to be safe.

I am so sorry this happened to you. It must have been terrifying. Thank you for reminding us to stay safe and always be on our toes. Glad you got out of there. Being a woman and having one through this myself, I think some of these replies are outrageous. “Sometimes it sucks to be attractive” is the most inappropriate reply to your post in my opinion. This was a dangerous situation and something bad could have happened. Please take care of yourself after this most frightening situation. 
Oh No! Glad you got right out of there.
That behavior is inexcusable.
Doesn’t matter what you look like or “how close” you were sitting.
Anyone who doesn’t find this behavior unacceptable is the problem.
Sorry you had to experience this.

Sorry that you had to go through such a traumatic experience but, thanks for sharing and for getting out of there as fast as you could and was safe in doing so.
Glad you’re safe. In Texas that would have been considered assault by contact. Notifying the local law enforcement agency will on alert they may have a predator in the community.
