    I still old school the western jeans. I feel naked without the wallet in the back pocket and it's hard to get out, generally. I agree about not carrying much cash too: got jacked once in NY; never again.

    The Pilots are bad about this. I turn around to leave and I have displays of candy and junk on each side of me and a person blocking my only way out. I just clear my throat and look at them and they move.

    A trick an old GF of mine would do to ward off potential advances: just stick a finger up the nose and briefly play rootabooger.
    Guys hate that.

    Uh-oh! I think 1nonly is on to my evil plot. I will have to come up with another seemingly innocent ploy to cop a feel.

    I usually step on toes and then do the "Oh excuse me. I'm so SORRY!"

    What bothers me is the way they stack all this merchandise in the isles of the truck stop. You're in a hurry to get to the restroom and you have to dodge five people and say excuse me three times before you get there. Then you run into some guy coming out when you get to the door.
     
    Shaggy Thanks this.

    and then as you leave,you have to open the pull to you to open door AFTER some nasty driver just left a stall and did not wash his hands.I always grab extra towels to open the door with keeping my hands off of that door knob/handle.
    How about the stalls in which driver piss all over the commode seat because they are too lazy/SORRY to lift it?
    Then back to the original topic,I refer to those that invade personal space as "mouth breathers".You can actually feel them breathing on you and man,that sets me off.It is difficult to remain civil as I do not want to catch whatever cold/flu/something that they always seemingly have because they are sneezing and coughing and breathing all over my back and neck.
     
    Shaggy Thanks this.

    Thanks for the laugh, and the tip. :yes2557:

    I've thought about getting one of those fake fart noise makers and carrying it with me. When someone gets too close, let off a good one and see if they back off then.:biggrin_25525:
     
    Shaggy Thanks this.
