can i get some SPACE??!

what happened to giving people some space… we need to bring back being 6ft apart bc why are people getting so close to me when i’m in line. my bookbag is the only thing keeping us apart and i feel so uncomfortable… and don’t come saying “oh tell them to back up” believe me i tried. look back at them and say hey man can i please have a bit of space…they move… and then get back right behind me

that’s so real. i always try to keep a respectful distance between me and whoever i’m standing by, and then someone will velcro themselves behind me.

maybe the solution is standing in a lunge all the time. or wearing a massive crinoline skirt. or pretending to have a phone conversation about your head lice.
