You didn't have some nimrod come sit down next to you in a waiting room. You don't have to be a covid bro to enjoy having your personal space.

There's a weird subset of the population that thinks an opening is an invitation.

On the treadmill and there are a 20 other open ones? I better come get on the one next to you.

Pissing next to an empty urinal? We can't have that, I better fill that space

if you just start hacking and coughing when you see them headed towards you, they'll usually sit elsewhere.

Fart. Fart real loud so they hear it. Bet they'll go find one of those open treadmills.

Ironically, I've noticed that the people who still wear masks at the grocery store are the ones with little to no spatial awareness.

Hovering in front of the deli counter while other people are being helped isn't going to make them call your number any quicker.

It also kept the close talkers under control.

Talking to yourself and asking rhetorical questions, loud enough for strangers to hear, is the best way for all the nastys around you to involuntarily social distance.

Worked before the scamdemic. Still works.

I bet you need that extra space so you can manspread. Bigot

Smile, make eye contact and pat the seat with your hand while they are walking towards it. 9/10 times they will divert course. 1/10 times you make a new friend.

I kind of miss the social distancing when grocery shopping and people feel the need to crowd me as I'm paying. I've actually had to move a shopping cart because I stepped to far forward to put my bags in my cart and had to step back to pay. That shite never happened when we were all doomed

my wife does this with empty kitchen counter space. It's like she HAS to fill counter space with a plant, cookbook stand, etc. The space was constructed for the sole purpose of cooking/meal prep. why can't it just be bare when not in use?

The six foot radius was one thing I hoped would last from the Covid lunacy. I quite enjoyed it. Sadly, it is gradually being chipped away.

the worst part is when you move back to get away and they keep moving closer

Remember when all we had to worry about were humidity levels causing the moisture in the crack of our arse wicking through our yoga pants and chemtrails?


Those were the days.
