The personal space bubble is non existent

[ElAzul]

I swear every time I leave the house no matter where I am someone is breathing down my neck, reaching over my shoulders or whatever. What's my defense? I hold every fart in I can and just drop ass when needed if possible. Ohh and Merry Christmas to all

I wear my MAGA hat in Oregon. You'd think I was a leper.

I try to give space but when people are being idots I invade their space, for example at McDonalds if someone knows they used 10 creamers in their coffee but insist on standing in the way of the soda cup lids and do 1 at a time instead of grabbing 10 and moving to the side I will crowd them and reach over/across them. I love it when they are doing that and then answer their phone.

Yeah F all that

If the same person bumps into me or nudges me more than once in a public setting it drives me crazy.

I have used the "wheres the fire " line a few times

The other day I had two incidents:

1) I'm getting breakfast at a hotel. They have the little round containers for silverware. I literally am grabbing a fork and some guy reaches past me to grab a fork at the same time.

2) I'm at my at my mailbox getting mail. The box was stuffed full because I hadn't been in a couple weeks. While I am pulling all the mail out this lady tries to get into her mailbox right below mine.

I don't know what the F is wrong with people. I said something to both of them.

An aerosol can of “canned ass” might help in some of these occasions.......

I try to keep it authentic as possible and drop "genuine ass" fresh from the tap

I call people out or shove my way in if they make a career out of whatever. Soda, coffee, salsa bar, ect. Lately at work I've been saying the name of who's too close and following up with "zip code".

I was in China last month. They have zero respect for personal space. People there bump into you, even push you out of their way. It's pretty bad. They just say that it's their "Culture". It can be frustrating for sure.

You could always get the pooter that would work real well when the lady goes for the mailbox below you

Start coughing. Real loud. Works like a charm

For the most part, I'm an anti-social prick. I try to avoid crowds and busy places. I think I would explode in China! I have no problem waiting until there is more free space. I think people are just always in a hurry. Only two things certain in life, and I'm in no rush for either.

I fit in the same category, got this for my birthday last year.lol

I hate it when someone in the general public holds the door open for me and when I reply "Thank You" their reply is "No Problem". I feel telling them "It's Your Welcome, if it were a problem you wouldn't be holding the door for me".
Drives me phucking nuts.

I'm sooo Happy its not just me !

Damn...what drove me crazy was holding the door at 0'dark-thirty at 7eleven. F'r's didn't even acknowledge you. No "Thank You", no "Gracias"...not a damn thing

Even the guys I had working were told to be polite and appreciative. It often caught homeowners and supers off guard. Being polite and well spoken opens doors, even if you're just a laborer.

 

[checkrd past]

The same is true at Korean supermarkets,them old ladies ram you with their carts like nothing. At first I'm like WTF but now it's ramming speed on them. My wife hates it but she notices they don't bat an eye to it.

This was going to be my post. You think you have no personal space here? Try China. The good thing is an average guy like me is on the larger side there so you just start pushing people away. Doesn’t start fights, they kind of just move along like nothing.

How do you feel about “No worries?” Picked it up hanging around a South African 10-15 years ago and it never went away.

Yeah, totally. I can only take so much of people pushing me, after a few days I got in the game. lol And they have ZERO respect for pedestrians. I found out that the best strategy is to play a game of Chicken with cars and scooters.

Fuck Everybody by Steel Panther speaks to this thread. Listen to the song a few times to fully soak it in. It's truly great musicianship.

Me too, haven't liked it since I first heard it, still irritates me, but now it seems to be the norm and has simply replaced "You're welcome".
As much as I hate to admit it, I caught myself using it recently. I immediately thought, OH no, not me too, FUCK !!!

 

[DEEZNUTS]

This is exactly the reason I amazon damn near everything anymore. People are different, weird, gross, etc, that's fine. But give me my 3 feet of personal space.

When I get someone breathing down my neck and will turn 180 degrees and stare them in the eyes, nose to nose, untill they get it. I also rip a mean fart if possible, really effective tactic, sometimes more than others.

I usually defer to a thank you or Yes sir/ma’am. 90% of the time I’m the one holding the door though...

I go to the Philippines a couple times a year (for the last five years), and Manila is the most densely populated city in the world (see image below) and the people never crowd me or “invade my space”. They are super respectful to all, especially Americans, and they all speak English.

The traffic is horrible but the places of business are super secure, they have the biggest malls I have ever seen (I mean 10 times he size of South Coast Plaza) and they are busy but no one is pushy. And then you go to the little resort islands and its paradise, very sweet local village people.
