Default Standing too close in line

Exactly as said, some random places such as Starbucks, check out lines in various stores etc...

Seems more than usual lately people are not respecting the personal space laws, I had a situation where i snapped and threw a guy on the floor for this!!

It happened at a starbucks on a saturday morning, it was busy and ofcourse alittle tight for space, but the guy was so close he was making contact with me and even a time or two felt like he pushed his unit onto my leg, and the first say 15 times, i inched foreward and ignored him... but he continued to get uncomfortable close and make body to body contact with me. After this I asked him afew times to keep some reasonable space between us because this "closeness" is making me very uncomfortable. He gave me a cocky smile and inched into me again when i inched away, this is where i snapped. I threw him into a wall and he hit it with such force he then fell to the ground, so he then looks up and threatens to kick my ass now , and I told him he wont get up a second time if he tries it, the man then leaves the store and disappears. Surrounding people said i was maybe alittle hostile but within reason to do what I did, who knows, the guy could have had a weapon. No police were called, and as far as im concerned it was self defense, thats legally assault what he was doing.

Anyone else ever come across some shit like this?

Nice! Luckily, nothing bad came out of it.

One time in upstate New York, I was in line somewhere. It wasn't even crowded but some big dumb oaf inched right up behind me and started literally breathing down my neck. He was six or seven inches taller than me (I'm only 5'8"), so I could feel his stank-ass breath down the back of my neck. I looked back, and by the look on his face it was pretty obvious to me that he was trying to intimidate me, probably for shits and giggles. I felt like grabbing something and smashing it over his head, but the place was full of rednecks (upstate New York) and I would've gotten beat-down for sure.

So... I hear what you're saying, and kudos to you for standing up to that prick.

Mental note to self: Do not rub genitalia against Kyushin's leg without asking first.

You have permission Ckit, im sure i wouldnt feel anything

BTW the dude looked like Biff from back to the future and was several inches taller than me, ok fine, i got a slight napoleon complex from the mammoth bastard, but he got owned in the end. I never ever really get into situations, but I tried many times to deescalate the situation before I resulted to the outcome of the deal.

One guy flipped out on my ex gf at the dmv, we were pushed up constantly, so she was next to some dude, not rubbing, maybe just bumped into 2 times. When everyone is packed I mean thats just the situation. He turned around and started to shout at her. He was from out of town though. I didn't do anything though, at the DMV not the wisest place. Poeple just looked at him funny.

But for me if some cute blondie chick was standing close to me it wouldn't be an issue. Its a lot more uncomfy when its a guy, and if he is rubbing on you then thats not cool.

I bet he would have not been so close to you if he knew you were such a badass.
