The Mind of KLH

Yes…I’m back, and I’m annoyed.  The other day I went to the movies to see Avatar.  It was a great film with a surprising spiritual undertone.  It was a pretty long film, close to three hours.  Anyways…I’m there enjoying the movie or at least trying to but the nit wits behind me kept kicking and bumping my chair.  As for me personally I always try to stay in my space.  I don’t want to impose on anyone else.  Unfortunately a lot of other people don’t have that kind of courtesy or self awareness.

When I’m at the movies I keep my damn feet to myself, I am not a ‘kicker’.  If I’m talking to you I won’t tap you constantly…I call these creatures ‘tappers’.  Also when I’m talking to you I won’t get within 18″ of your face.  I call people who don’t respect this don’t cross zone “space invaders”.  Even as I’m moving away ‘space invaders’ keep coming, and they’ll continue to keep coming until someone says “STOP!!!  This is my space and you can’t have it.”  It’s the same with seat kickers and tappers…they don’t have proper boundaries.

I think that as an American….actually as a human being we all have the inalienable right to EXCLUSIVE use and occupation of the three foot invisible circle around us.  That invisible circle is our Personal Space.  Unless you’re having sex or engaging in some other activity that actually requires physical contact Stay Out Of Personal Space that isn’t yours.  Perhaps it’s the invisible nature of personal space that confuses seat kickers, tappers, and space invaders.  Someone should invent ‘Personal Space Goggles’.  These goggles would detect when you are entering someone else’s personal space.  When you do an alarm would go off and indicate that you should back off…If the alarm doesn’t work perhaps a little electrical zap!

Well…maybe that’s not practical…maybe parents should just teach their kids proper manners…Ahhh…remember manners?  What about a ’Space Invader’ watch list?  Whatever the solution…something needs to be done!

Stay Fly and Fly High!
