On a related note, I've never understood the people who do that at red lights and stop signs. Keep a car length's distance between them and the car in front. Why?
Maybe to prevent an accident in case they get hit from behind.

[QUOTE=Praxeas;993348]Personal space: I understand on a subway train or on an air plane, but in line at a store some creepy looking dude has to stand less than a foot away from me is invading my space. And then everytime the line moves that person sticks to ya like glue.

There are quite a few around here who do that -sometimes staying 2+ car lengths behind the one in front. I am waiting for the opportunity to actually pull into one of those huge spaces when my own car is in the right position to do so. They left the space, so why not use it?

That is probably what their thinking except it is also incredibly greedy since there is not enough road space for even half the drivers to do that. It is also taking caution to a level that you really do not need to take it, such as towing a whole other car behind you in case the one your driving were to break down.
Here is another big one: Carry on bags! Nearly every flight I am on they run out of overhead space for bags because people are bringing their max amount/max size bags with them. Nothing like seeing a family of 5 with every person having having their two (huge) carry on's. Then there is the moron (that word again) who puts in their bag sideways thus taking up at least two spots. Kind of like the person who hogs 1/8-1/4 of a mile of road ahead of them in rush hour traffic.
