So...what happened to personal space? I was in line at a restaurant and told a man to go ahead of me since I was looking for something. He politely told me it was fine and to go ahead which I thought was sweet...at first. The entire time we're in line, I notice him getting a little too damn close. I just kept on walking ahead, I didn't even bother to check him on it because I was in pain and in a hurry. We get to the front of the line and I'm paying. The minute the cashier hands back my card, this motherfucker decides to encroach all up in my personal space. Got extremely close to the point we were touching and was leaning his body into me. He started pushing my food aside and placed his stuff on the counter and began ordering/paying as if I wasn't even there. Bitch! It was like he used the opportunity to try and embarrass me as well as feel me up. I swear when I'm tired my mouth closes up. I don't know why I only shot him a look and shoved him. I should've gone off on his ass. Instead I just stormed away. What the hell is wrong with people? What is it with men especially getting into a woman's space? Even the little things such as giving hugs. I'm not going to lie, I don't particularly like hugs so if I didn't verbally say you can, don't. Another thing I don't like that I've noticed younger men do is being so damn rough under the guise of being "touchy feely". Um no. I'm not one of your boys and we ain't that tight. There's no need to be pushing me around like a rag doll or shoving me or punching me. I have an old guy friend who used to do that. We weren't even that close. He was more of a friend of a friend but every time we were around, the way he would say hi was by shoving me hard. It made me feel like I was being physically abused but I should've just sucked it up because this was what friends did. I grew up around boys, I know how to play rough. I've wrestled around with them, shit. But the things that he would do were simply aggravating and unnecessary. And this guy is BIG. Stocky kind of big. You have to know the kind of strength you have. He didn't even do it around our other female friends. My friends suggested maybe he liked me. Have we suddenly regressed from grown adults to middle schoolers? How does it make it okay?
