Personal space!!

[CritterGirl]

WTF was up with all the creepy-ass customers today?!?

I mean, yes, it's good to stand in front of me while you're trying to talk, but not THAT close! You don't have to be close enough for me to count the pores on your nose. I swear, every single customer was like that today. Hello--PERSONAL SPACE!!!

And get the HELL OFF my ladder while I'm on it scooping your fish from the top row of aquariums. Not only did I JUST TELL YOU it's for employee use only, you are freaking me out, it's dangerous, and I'm inches/moments away from kicking you in the balls. This actually happened TWICE today.

I have two words for you....FULL MOON!!

[Bright_Star]

A full moon means the freaks come out to Wal-Mart.

[DesignFox]

Weirdest thing ever, last time there was a full moon, MY customers were NORMAL.

CritterGirl- I sympathize with you. I HATE HATE HATE when people invade my personal space. I get very antsy. I don't like to be crowded.

[AirHostess]

When I was flying I hated it when people stood in the galley. Hello, this is our little office, go away!

[BookstoreEscapee]

Hey, you could always, um, "lose your footing" a bit and force them off the ladder...

"See, that's why I told you to stay off it!"

You actually kicked customers in the balls TWICE? In one day?? :looking hopeful:

Nah, I guess I took it out of context.

Actaually, there is no greater percentage of freaks out during the full moon than any of the rest of the month. But it is fun to blame them on it.

I had such joy on my face when I read and wrote those things.

Heh...

Totally unrelated, but I made a new character for City of Heroes whose name is likely to be generic'd eventually.*

The name is Vash di'Forenz and his boots look like they're made of brass.

And he has an eyepatch. On account of having only one eye. Yeah, it's not right. Funny, tho.

* for those who don't know, if a GM decides that your name is "inappropriate" then it gets changed to "Generic Hero ### ### ###" until you give them a name that they agree with.

That's why I tend to remain behind the counter when customers are in the store. It's a natural personal space barrier. I have no problem with reclaiming personal space. I step away as much as possible. If they approach, I step away, and make it more obvious. If they approach again, I start making comments about not getting that close with people I like. I don't embarrass easily, so I can usually get the point across by embarrassing them instead.

Oh man I have a huge issue with people invading my 'personal space'. When I was the 'greeter' at the store, people ALWAYS invaded my space. They would get <>this close to me. I'd take a step back...they take 2 steps forward...I take another step back...they lean in...I lean back...(you'd THINK they'd get it...but no) When I finally got their name and what they needed help with...I ALWAYS turned around, snarled up my nose and kind of gag/coughed...like they smelled...even if they didn't. (Although most of the time they did)
