1. I always scuff my feet on the carpet
To let people know I'm behind them.

'cause I hate people sneaking behind me too.

3. PC desktop is the same as papers on someone's desk
I wouldn't think of looking at papers on somebody else's desk, let alone making a comment on their contents. It's the same for a PC desktop.:)

12. Well they do that.
I just ask them "did I tell you?"

When they say "no"

I say "well then I guess you did not need to know."

7. Me Too
I call it "Breath Air". I hate standing in somebody else's breath air zone. I don't care if their breath smells like fresh cut flower, I still don't want to breath it in LOL. I must be a basket case.

6. And I Thought It Was Just Me
That drives me insane in the membrane. My significant other does that all the time and I can't stand it. He doesn't get it. I just hate it, yet I have no idea why!

16. small. stick-on concave truck-mirror
stick it the frame, you'll see them approach; turn & look them dead in the eye. they'll want to look @ your monitor, but will be ashamed to break eye contact.

or turn your monitor off untill they leave.



that's just rude!

20. My roommate from the last two semesters...
Would constantly come in my room, ask what I was doing, then stand behind me and look at my computer screen. I was always too nice to say "fuck off."

22. OMG TEXAS I SAID THAT JUST LAST NIGHT
I told a coworker, do NOT stand behind me........I can't stand it. Even when I'm in training and someone is leaning over from beind to point out stuff on the monitor I get so uncomfortable I cannot pay attention.
