Okay how many people stand so close to people in line at stores or any where that you can smell their hair?

Question

Also how many people let their children stand next to strangers in line so close as well?

Answer 1

I hate that!! I always give people their personal space. My kids are taught the same. If someone gets that close to me I use body language to tell them get away. If that doesn't work I tell them to back off.

Answer 2

I don't. But I get what you mean by this question. ^_^

People complain about other people "smelling" but don't realize that to get this "proof" they themselves have to be *rude* about it and invade another's personal space. They're the ones getting too close. They are the ones invading privacy, and for what, so someone can cough up an insult?

Really, if I use soap, deodorant, toothpaste, and mouthwash every day before I leave the house, I'm *NOT* going to "stink" unless you go *looking for it*.

And yet some folks just refuse to deal with this basic fact.

I think this is being done more for social and/or political reasons than anything to do with hygiene. Look at *where* other people do this--invading your personal spaces. They do it on mass transit buses, in line at the grocery store. Places where, yes, one *could* argue that some of it is involuntary. So there's a level of plausible deniability going on here.

And these are places where poor people, perhaps poor people who might be considered "mopes", mix in with other people, perhaps People of Color who consider themselves "less poor" or "better" than the "mopes", "freaks", or "Crackheads" around them.

Honestly, I'm not saying this to troll or be offensive. I've been through this myself, twice in the past three weeks in particular:

--I was going to catch a bus once to run errands. I was dressed fairly nice, new shirt, new shoes, clean clothes, clean shaven. A neighbor in the neighborhood wanted to talk with me....she was clearly drunk, a woman of color, and basically, half of her conversation was about how she didn't want to believe that *I* could live in a "crackhead" house, an apartment building where "crazy people" live.

And this from some drunk woman. Who was dressed more than halfway "ghetto" herself.

--And more recently....I was snagging a late lunch, at a Subway because it was nearby and convenient at the time.

And the woman I ordered the sandwich from...she was talking on and on about a female customer who had just left, and completely dissing her hair, talking behind her back about how ugly she was, about how she looked like someone with a "mental disorder". Like that was some sort of death sentence.

I would have spoken up and said something, but the "lady" was handling my food at the moment and I didn't want her spitting in it for my being "one of them", you know? I had stuff to do and didn't have the time to deal with *her* drama and *her* issues.

My point? This whole business of people getting *way* too close to you, and then telling you that "you stink" is nothing more nor less than thinly disguised bigotry. They invade your personal space in the first place, and then, because *They* think you're a mope or otherwise beneath them, they go on the *attack* and *blame you* instead of apologizing for *their* screw-ups and hang-ups.

I get this. I get what people mean when they do this.

People *want* to be bigoted towards me, but they want to avoid doing it over anything objective like saying I'm an "ugly dude" or a "dirty white boy". So they invade personal space, and then call "smell", which is subjective, and more than a little bit *their own fault*. Not that anyone *admits this*, oh no.

Nobody wants to admit that they are a bigot, even when they themselves *know more about it* than most folks courtesy of living with a racist environment! Nope....the "mopes" and the people with "mental disorders" don't deserve any justice I guess, they merit no fair treatment or kindness in this degenerate, barbaric *backwater* of a nation.

So we get "marked", for "stinking" when by any and all reasonable, objective and rational standards, our hygiene is *just fine* thank you.

I don't get it, don't want to....because it says something *horrible* about human nature.

It says we haven't learned a *damned thing*, in spite of our genocides and holocausts.

Sorry to go on so....thanks for your time. -_-
