This reminds me of a story I heard about how a pregnant woman kept getting others inappropriately touching her belly without asking first. This woman would go ahead and cup those individuals face in return, saying something along the lines of, "how sweet are you." Most found it creepy and if they caused a stink she'd respond by telling them that they were invading her space so she thought they had no concept of space. It worked really well for her. I might do it one day if I am ever pregnant.
