Er. Question on personal space.

[burntcopper]

Okay, those of you who've met me in the flesh know that I have *no* concept of personal space. My parents regularly complain about this, and it's partially due to childhood upbringing of a very crowded society. 1 mm, 1 mile, I simply don't register the difference unless someone tells me. Which also often means I miss a few slash things... 'Look how close they're standing!' 'Your point is?' I know 3jane once commented on the whole Korean hand-holding thing betwixt men, and it not being a remotely gay thing there.

So...er... what do you lot consider reasonable personal space boundaries?

If I'm in line, or having a conversation with someone who's not a family member, I'd prefer that they'd stay at least far enough away from me that I wouldn't be able to elbow them, if I tried. I think around 2 ft would be about right.
