The process in which a single or many people in the immediate vicinity are stressing out and it causes one to be stressed as well. The contact stesser may or may not even know why they are stressing out.
Nicole and Adam L were freaking out because 30 tickets came through. Adam R was then feeling contact stress because his fellow baristas were stressing even though he only had to stand at drive thru and take money.
