Some people feel the need to get right up in your face to talk to you. Does this make you uncomfortable?

Very! It's not like I have hearing problem. Seriously, I wonder how they (close talkers) would feel if the non-close talkers do that to them?

I think there is nothing worse then a person who sticks their face into yours when the are talking. It's like...........I have a point here and you better damn be listening to what I have to say. Just plain rude.

There is the one guy at work that I swear his breath smells like sh*t. I always wonder - what does he eat and how often does he brush his teeth? Sickening.

I do not understand why anyone has to stand close to me to talk to me..I cant stand that..there is this one guy at work that ABSOLUTELY cannot talk to anyone unless he is standing right up on them, and it annoys everyone...i avoid him at all cost..I just dont get it..and the thing is, he does it mostly to women with big boobs..ugh!!!

I don’t like it when people envelop me with their decomposing tooth rot smell. And I think there should be a law against spitting in public as well, why do people think it ok to roll up wades of lung flem and infected sinus snot and torpedo launch it, why don’t they just pull their pants down and have a bowel movement if they are so intent on displaying body fluid and function?

My best friend is like that so I always try to position myself with something like a table or something in between us if we're going to be talking for a while!

Doh!, misread the question. Should have been a YES

No, if someone gets too close I will backup. If they don't get the message, I'll turn around and leave them there flapping their jaws.

That doesn't happen very often to me, but a lot of people reach out and touch you when they're talking and I don't like that either, although I don't say anything. Worst of all are people who shake their finger in your face when they're mad -- it gives me a terrible desire to bite it off but I just knock it away.
EscapeV... to greenwo... April 16, 2008 03:23:23

Haha i know what you mean, especially when its someone you don't really know and they start grabbing at you while they're talking, it's very awkward.
