The Unwritten Rule 1

Like how you shouldn’t kick a person when he’s down (though the fun factor may just justify the action).

Here’s my first unwritten rule of life. It’s really a wonder how I’ve never posted this up until now.

You should never invade other people’s personal space physically, no matter where you are. Especially in a queue. I don’t ever want to feel you literally breathing down my neck, or feel the warmth of your crotch on my ass. It’s not going to make the line move any faster in case you’re that stupid. And it’s dangerous to you too because I might just elbow your stomach “accidentally”.

Another example. Say you’re in a cinema or on the plane, not one part of your leg is supposed to cross over your hand rest. Hell, even  your elbow shouldn’t take up more than half of the hand rest. And if I’m sitting beside you and ever so innocently grazed you with my elbow or knee, that’s your cue to readjust yourself.

I don’t care if you’re a big person because you’re not supposed to be that big in the first place. If you want to be that big (yes, it’s definitely a matter of choice), you just lost your right to be comfortable.
