why do some people just get right up your nose?

People don't answer questions on here properly because they are usually too lazy to form a proper sentence and really think about the answer to a question.\nThey just want the quick two points.\nIt's extremely annoying but on the upside for every five bad answers you usually get a really good informative and well thought out answer.

The answer here is quite simple. They do it because they think they can, but luckily this problem has an easy solution. Next time he pushes you "there", you bite "it" off. It's a simple lesson in humility. : )

Sometimes they ask you to put up your hands!

I think etiquette would call for the person putting the groceries down first to put the barrier up and give you the room to start to put yours up.  People don't always use good manners though, or maybe sometimes they have a zillion other things on their mind and just forget to, in that case, the other person needs to do it themselves without getting cranky about it.

Maybe they want to learn of other cultures, or maybe they're just being nosey. Either way, it's your mouth to say what you want to them, and if you would rather not discuss it just calmly tell them so.

They're plotting against you...\nJust kidding, They taste through their feet so it probably has something to with tasting.

They have some guilty secret that they are afraid people will realize or they are lying their heads off on one topic or another while speaking. \n\nThe other possibility is that you have some spinach caught between your teeth or a new pimple on your nose and they are embarrassed to mention it to you.so they are avoiding that kind of mental closeness.

because you can get to it, something else will get in the way, the tusk.  You will get the nose, you will be sniffed at.

Because for some people, the only way they can bring themselves up is to bring someone else down, or at least try to.  I pity people like that.

Sounds to me like they managed to get up your nose somehow. I cant say anything about them since I know nothing about them , but I hope you can find a way to start feeling a little better about them.\n\nLeon

Different people have different ideas of 'personal space'.  If you grew up in a crowded area, you would feel comfortable with less space than someone who had not, and so might not realize that your proximity was making someone else uncomfortable.  If the other person in the line does not seem aware of the proximity, it might be because it doesn't bother them; you can try politely asking for a little more room, and they'll likely give it to you.  And maybe look at you weird, but meh, most people aren't cultural relativists.

As usual, you have got your nose in the wrong place.

By realizing they are people too, and chances are that some of them are nervous or shy about talking to you.  It's okay to be shy, we like to open up surprises :)

in most places, pedestrians have the right away so they think you have to stop for them.  This is the wrong thought.\n\nI just speed up....that teaches them to look next time.  Unless of course, I hit them.

They do tend to do that, yes.  Especially since they seem to think they are right and the rest of us are wrong.  They have their nose stuck up so high it amazes me they don't drowned when it rains!

Some people just like to stir things up by asking a question that will get a rise out of people.\n\nOn the other hand, people sometimes like to answer a question to get a rise out of the asker.\n\nNow which one is this?
