Ok, so this is really more of a rant than anything, or rather a plea to stranger’s everywhere, but I feel as though it must be said.  Strangers… stay out of my  personal bubble!!! Stop standing awkwardly close to me and hovering over my back. If you can’t tell, yes, this did happen to me a couple of days ago.  I had a waitress hangin’ over my shoulder. I don’t like that.

Now clearly there is a difference between hugs and invasion of the personal bubble. I am not saying that there are never times when that breach is acceptable, but strangers are not allowed in that little area. It goes about 2 feet around me in any given direction. That is where I ask strangers to stay.

Also, please stop hovering.  Even if you aren’t doing it on purpose, sometimes I feel like you are spending far too much time in any given area around me.  I don’t know why, but you are sending the wrong message and it is a creepy one.  I have no problem with a person introducing themselves, that is great, but stop hanging around awkwardly.

Now I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression. I love meeting new people and getting to know them, but I can’t say that I really want people hanging inches over my back until the “getting to know them” occurs.

Thank you for hearing me world. This is all.
