YDI If you walk into a room and there's only one other person there you don't sit in the seat right next to them unless you know them, period. You don't sit in the seat directly next to anyone who isn't a friend or acquaintance unless there are no seats available that aren't directly next to someone else. That's just basic manners. It's like the idiots who, in a deserted parking lot, park in the space RIGHT NEXT to the one you're in.

only two people there..... then why sit next to her you creepy fuckstain ?

personal space not an issue with you eh ?

I think it's sad that a friendly gesture is now seen as "creepy" in our society. Perhaps she sat next to the other person to start a conversation or try to be friendly? It might not have been the "socially acceptable" thing to do, but why is it automatically creepy? This is the reason so many people in our country don't even know their neighbors or choose options that come with the least amount of human interaction. It's disappointing that it's become the "norm" in our society to be stand-offish and cold. I sincerely doubt the woman who posted this sat down next to the other woman, gave her the eye and then put her hand on her leg. Now that would have been creepy. Yeah, if it were me, I probably would have at least put one space between myself and the other person, but don't dismiss a person as a freak or a weirdo for the innocent act of sitting next to another person. I'm much more concerned about the number of people walking around who act like jerks and don't care about anyone around them. Those are the people you should be worried about.

I've learned that Americans don't like sitting next to someone unless they know them. No, you're not a loser, and no, this lady probably doesn't hate you. It's just a typical thing. And it's not that she's a jerk, either. I mean, she could be, but you don't know that.

That's a little creepy to sit like right next to someone... Then again it is a conference? But in that case not RIGHT behind them. More like beside them or near them but in their view, and them in yours...

why would you go and sit right next to her? that's like a guy walking into a bathroom and going to the urinal right next to another dude.... you just don't do it

It still is a free country isn't it? I mean I know its not really free any more but its a conference room, people sit by each other, maybe the sitter isn't comfortable sitting away from other people. So what about their comfort? I mean as long as everyone here is gonna make an ass outta u and me, might as well make every assumption, don't want any to be left out,right? And in case there are any slow people out in the audience,ass u me....

I know how you feel

Its probably because you were breathing hard and heavy, and gave her horrible memories of her step-dad ;D ;D
