Hovering people

that does piss me off a little bit, depends on the mood i am in, i will ask them if they're getting ready to hump my leg...it's kinda creepy, gimmie my space, and if i accidently bump into you, dont shoot me a dirty look, why? because yer in my #### personal bubble heh

 

.
Just ask them if they need some help with their shopping. That usually catches them completely off guard LOL

 

I just pee on their shoes ... that usually makes them back off.

 

I usually say.."Excuse Me" and step on their foot...lol

 

i will look them in the eyes and say can i help you.but i am a fairly good size feller.it usually works.

 

I agree, since started driving. I keep my wallet in my front pocket.

 

I can't think of 5 times it's happened in my 55 years. But then again, there are different types of personalities that come into play. Psychology Today magazine did a thing on personal space and it would appear that the more angry, dissatisfied, and generally negative type people require more space. However, despondent or grieving types didn't mind people being close. Inmates generally demand a 3 foot perimeter around themselves.
It was sort of interesting, but the thought of cons comes to mind. They smile and play all friendly to get close to you, get in your head / pockets any way they can. I don't blame a lot of people for avoiding eye contact, and keeping their backs to others in lines.
People are like a box a' chok-a-luts.

 

The hovering close thing bothers me, but not as much as another personal space issue.

Say I'm leaving the store same time as another driver. Say the door is the push out kind. Other driver pushes the door open, but waits for me to go through first while leaning out and blocking half the doorway.

Now I'm a fairly small woman, but in that situation I'm not getting through the door without touching the guy, especially if he's even a little bit chubby.

If it involves you copping a feel, it's not courtesy, OK?
