Personal space
I don’t like to touch strangers. I would never sit on top of one. I wouldn’t open a newspaper or book and not notice how my elbow digs into the person next to me when I turn the pages. I wouldn’t open my legs so wide they touch the other person, forcing them to press against the window [...]
