I put up my arm to ward off her arms and said you’re invading my personal space, laughing as I said it, and she got it. But I’ve had people to do it before. Once I held up my arm as this woman was waving her hands all over the place. Right next to me. But from now on, I’m going to speak to them about it.

I don’t think people are doing it maliciously but it shows a lack of self-awareness

She said something about being of Italian ancestry . But people need to watch their hands when they are that close to somebody else.
