Re: Personal space issues
Within work context, stickier....you could start with a direct, neutral tone statement (talking to her, or via email you can edit to really get it neutral and creates a record of the encounter) that personal contact made you uncomfortable and you do not wish it ever repeated or you will have to report it. And if it is repeated, report it.
In a social context, shouldn't be any big deal - a smiling Hey, Mary (or Mrs Doe, or whatever), I know you didn't mean anything by it, but I have some aches and pains and would really appreciate it if you didn't come up and slap me again!
