I don't like people touching me without my permission, either.
That's a pretty big personal space. For me it depends on the situation. There's a situation in work where people have to come to me at the end of their shift so I can check what items they have on them. One guy steps a few inches from my face when he approaches me and I just stand still.
I used to step back but now I just think, ok fuck you, let's play the weird game of being inches away from each others face while I check what you have.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
