Like in line at the grocery store? People do this to me all the time and it's really creepy! Most of the time I just turn around and look at them like "back off!", but I never say anything...What would you do?

THAT IS ONE OF MY GREATEST PET PEEVES! I FEEL YOU! Usually, I do the same thing. I'll turn around and give the person the "you're TOO CLOSE" look. I also HATE when you inch up a little to "hint" that they are TOO close and they move up closer! OMG! I've never said anything either! But, I'll give some VERY STRONG body language to show I'm offended. Or, if I'm really aggravated, I'll mumble something under my breath.

I can't stand it when people do this, doesn't anyone know what personal space is. I move around a lot, bump into them a couple times, bend down fix your shoe, move your cart up but stay put. Or your could just turn around look them straight in the eye and not say a thing just stand there and stare at them, maybe they will get uncomfortable and move.

Omg I hate that too - like if im in the bank line and people are anxiously waiting to get to a teller i just turn around and look at them or intentionally drop something so they could move back or i would start coughing uncontrollably lol...im not a mean person so i couldn't bring myself to say MOVE but i would do little things like that to show them that they are too close

This is in the news today - it's going to happen more and more!
"Chances are that in the last week someone has irritated you by standing too close, talking too loud or making eye contact for too long. They have offended you with the high-pitched shrill emanating from the earphones of their iPod or by spreading their legs unnecessarily wide on a packed subway car."

Move forward if at all possible or try to stand to the side a little. If that doesn't work then just politely ask them in they would mind taking a step back.

We all seem to have a perimeter around our bodies that when someone steps into that perimter we feel very uncomfortable.
I usually bust some ninja moves and break dance in front of them. They think I'm crazy and will back away.
I hope this helps, angel

Funny, this just happened to me last night; I just kept turning around & giving the person dirty looks, then edging away from them. I didn't understand why they were so close to me; I was flabbergasted.

Carry a small bottle of perfume with at all times... when they get too close simply spray it over your shoulder as if you are spraying yourself... guaranteed they will BACK OFF !! especially if you use a real stinky perfume!!
Aaaaaaaaaagh life is good when you give people what they have coming!!

I usually step on them and then when they say ow, I say "oops, I didn't realize you were so close...you should probably back off from now on"
