Personal Space

I was on line at the supermarket today. In the middle of my transaction I was having a chat with the cashier... It was a lovely moment. But, this lady who was next in line behind me, was standing practically right under my armpit. I gave her a couple of gentle glances so maybe she would get the hint to give me a little room. She did not.At this point, my purchase was complete and was about to head out the door. She was so close behind me that when I picked up my carry bag and pivoted to leave, I damn near knocked her out. Plus I stepped on her foot at the same time. Before I could say anything, she said, "I'm sorry." People. Really. Unless you're intimately involved with the person on line in front of you. Don't stand so close. We weren't raised by wolves and Beyonce is not the cashier, so there's no rush. We can give each other a little room and patience to do a simple transaction at the grocery store without the need of a trauma unit. Thank you. Take care of yourselves, and each other...
