personal space is so freaking important!

here's one situation.

one day, you queued up at ATM and the line was freaking long and furiously slow! but you're in a good mood, so you braced yourself and waited patiently in the line. All was good. until you felt something brushed your back lightly. you glanced back over your shoulder and saw a woman with an impatient face that kept glancing at her watch and you instantly knew that the thing that brushed your back was the woman's sling handbag that she brought to her front. The brushed was harmless and has no ill intention what so ever, so you didnt really mind altho you felt a little bit uncomfortable. But then, the woman kept on shifting from standing on one foot to another (you know when you're impatient, you cant sit/stand still?, that's what the lady does) which makes her bag kept on brushing on you. And that really makes you so freakingly uncomfortable. and annoyed.

in that situation, what would you do? tell her to back off?

me? I dont want to make a scene. so I just moved a little away from her and occasionally glanced at her with my unfriendly face. it worked.

sigh..

dont you people ever heard of personal space? there're few inches from one body outwards that belongs to that person and you cant just breach that few inches! it's personal okay!! not everyone was allowed to that space and certainly not some strangers. I mean, even when you are a touchy person, you just dont hug people that you dont know. or barely knew.

so please respect those tiny personal space. you cant see it, but it doesnt mean it's not there.
