What creeps you out?
 

a sampling:

-- cars that park themselves

-- closet monsters

-- overly earnest religionists

-- pink eyeshadow

overly friendly weird looking guys. They really creep me out.

I tend to have a pretty high tolerance, but ...

spiders
fire
spiders on fire typically make me feel better, though.
mimes
The French, especially French mimes

Like Aliantha said, guys who don't know American standard spacing in public. Yikes, gimme room, son!

Is it a different story for you Britons? You guys are considered European, aren't you? And I hear their public and intimate space is way different.

Old women who put on makeup.

It's like being around Pennywise.

Ahhh...we're generally considered to be Australian mate. You lot are closer to Europe than we are.

We like the wide open spaces here. There's no need for anyone to be standing too close without invitation.

There are always those who don't observe generally accepted distances though.

Sorry Ali, I forgot you were from down under but I was just generally asking the mass British populus that hangs around here. But sounds like you and your Australian mates like 3-5 feet of room comfortable as well.

High five!

it may seem silly, but i really fucking hate it when my scotch tape dispenser is low. i feel this unreal pressure that it's going to run out soon...but i don't want to just throw out the remainder of the roll.....i hate to waste .it...but you can't tell when it's really on its last lap or if it has 5 or 6 left....

i confessed this to a salesman today and he mocked me unmercifully. meh... prolly deserve it. but i really do get edgy about that for some reason.

Would it freak you out if I mentioned that I've only got 2 degrees of separation from Marcel Marceau?

We're only technically European - our public space is 11 miles (Dover to Calais for those not in the know)

I think you'll find we're about the same as the Americans, if not even more cautious about getting close. Except on the Tube, and even then correct form is to pretend the person with their nose in your armpit isn't really there.

Very much. The goats may help to redeem you, however.

You also drink whiskey and not wine.

In my experience Americans have a smaller personal space and are way more touchy-feely than Brits.

I'm not keen on:

really pale blue eyes
the grids at the bottom of swimming pools
veins in roast beef

U.S. Personal Space is 1.5 to 3 feet.

I have to take a test for my Assault Training Cert every year. That's one of the first questions.

1.5 is waaay too close. Unless we're having sex.
