I am a people watcher. I love sitting in a public place and observing others. One of my favorite things is how people protect their personal space.
For instance, in an elevator everyone stands
equidistant from each other:
Sometimes I like to mess with the elevator people a bit by shifting my position
ever so slightly as to create
imbalance and watch the subconscious
chaos ensue.
Obviously
karma has been watching and taken action to balance the world, because my off-spring have an entirely different take on the elevator scene.
Let me state right now that I don’t let my children ride elevators by themselves so this is purely hypothetical:
I have noticed this phenomenon at home.
Where ever I am the room is completely
imbalanced.
Where ever I walk it is
crowded.
Where ever I pee it is
accompanied.
What a huge
waste of square footage.
I am selling the house and moving into the minivan.
At least there they are strapped in an equidistant formation.
LOL, go girl. You might have to resort to HoolaHoop therapy like I did for one of my kids who had no boundaries and invaded other people’s spaces all the time. Walk holding hoop around you in a circle. “This space inside, honey, is all yours. Outside of it is other folks’ territory. Leave them the same amount as you have!” ๐
Oh wait not a huge fan was my last post……heheheheheheh I am stupid!
Yeah I don’t have that problem, although When I get in an elevator I like to jump up and down and freak out the other people! lol
Look I am at the top of the blog list! YES! Wait it says “Not a Huge Fan”…. NO! Crap!
It’s so true. I found the cure is to pick up cleaning apparatus. Makes them scatter to the point where each one is invisible. Then I can put my feet up and read trashy novels. I just keep a feather duster in one hand. Rather elegant really.
just for the record, that DOES go away.
teenagers would prefer you occupy the space farthest from them.
at all times.
You just described my house too LOL

I actually had a teacher who seriously did his master’s thesis on the psychology of elevator space. And, he, too liked to screw with people. I wonder if you will ever pee solo again?
This is so true…I might as well strap them to my back.
ROFL you are so creative!
Oh my! This is so awesome and true. What a phenomenon. I am going to have to teach my boys about center of mass to keep equilibrium in the room. Either that, or install carseats at equidistant points throughout the house.
KEEP BELIEVING
