On Radius Of Personal Space

on radius of personal space Dec 06, 2007
My radius is just small, but what I experienced was just untolerable! These guys would bump you, hit you on the head with their hands, step on your foot as if you weren't there!
I experienced these even when I was just quietly sitting on a bench waiting for a bus! Where can I buy a jacket with needles sticking out all over it?!
I'm just wondering how some people lose their sense and respect for others' personal space.. and it's very very common here in dubai :?

well if you are in India with 1,300,000,000+ people there is little space for anything. Note: buses take at most 120 people and benches maybe 5 (skinny ones)...

You can take the person out of India but you can't...

Absolutely. I love the Indian queuing system.

I went to the Indian embassy to get a visa... and the pushing and shoving was something to be seen.

If they figured out a way to make people go home... do you think there would be so many British here?

You're still not making much sense.

I suggest you brush up on your English skills.

(Note, there's a vital hint in the above 2 lines - call me next week when you figure it out.)

Why would it help being Indian?
And no, I am not.

I am however, kind of bored today.

Having been an expat for a while, I do find it funny whenever I return temporarily to UK and deliberately not queue.

Howls of silent objection !

Oh how the Brits LOVE to queue......
