When you just can't say it with mace...
I need some sort of man-repellent. No, that sounds like I have a different sort of problem (one that I may not want to solve in such a hurry!). Rather, I need to repel one sort of man--the sort that sits down next to you in crowded places and comes up with excuses to touch you in conversation. Elbow wars?! Give me a break.
He is the kind of man who makes contact too often and for too long, and who apparently feels no compunction about it whatever. It's frightening, really. What's to stop a man like that from committing rape? Certainly not his respect for women.
Maybe the invisible fence thing can be modified for the socially inept. All those pathological huggers getting a shock if they cross the boundary into my personal space--I would definitely pay money for that. Of course, I would suspend my defenses for genuine hugs (from people I trust), the kind that don't make my skin crawl.
hmm ... was I a witness to this?
unfortunately it sounds like someone I know
Heh heh...
