Now I would not consider myself a "anti-social" person, although I do value my space-- and I especially require a bubble around me -- that is not to be entered by just random folks! Point in case -- Last night I went to Papa Murphy's to get a pizza-- the place was rather busy - but not packed. There was a family in front of me-- and I kept the correct space of at least 2 adult spaces away from them-- that is what I require in public situations. No one behind me-- I was feeling pretty good -- deciding on my selection-- really the only choice was large or family -- Hmm how hungry am I? Then this couple walk in together holding hands-- oh that's nice! Until what the hell is that-- your breath on my neck-- seriously -- do you have to be that close-- I turned around to be almost nose to nose with this guy -- ya he wasn't that tall -- hoping the look of disgust and annoyance on my face would some how urge him to take a step or maybe 5 backwards! NOpe he just looked down his nose at me. So I turned back around-- not wanting to-- but feeling it was my only defense, took 1 step forward-- decreasing my 2 adult spacing to about 1 1/2 not to bad! It was like the stop light turned green-- all engines go-- and zoom-- right back up on me. I could honestly feel his coat on my side-- uh, are you gonna mug me-- cause otherwise there is no reason to be that close to me. I turned around once again -- even more annoyed (mostly because of my growling stomach, and the seeming incompetent pizza elves not moving fast enough) The look I shot him could have killed a terrorist, but it didn't faze the bubble invaders. Finally a space came available in the other line-- and I dove for it-- very rudely cutting off another would be bubble invader-- and quickly ordering and securing my spot on the bench-- in the middle- so the invaders wouldn't think they could sit by me. I know I sound like a psychotic shut in -- but I really just enjoy my air around me-- I don't want to breath your stinky breath-- and I don't want you touching me at all!
