A person, usually older that more then likely lived thru the depression but not always, who carefully and painstakingly unwraps their presents so they can re-use the paper!

Bow saving I can understand, but saving wrapping paper to re-use next year, not so much!

That's not the only reason some people save wrapping paper, homoe. If I get a present wrapped in paper that I think I can reuse in a craft project, I'll try to save as much of it as possible.

Oh it is and I know. I enjoy reading many of your posts in here a lot. To be fair, you did say 'but not always' when you were being critical of the thrifty types who save wrapping paper. I was simply presenting a different viewpoint about saving holiday stuff.

I actually think it's kind of cute when people do that. It shows that they have great consideration and care for all parts of the gift they received. I think that's a wonderful thing, especially in this day and age.

People that stand too close.

Especially if I'm in a conversation with someone whether it's a stranger or someone I don't know very well and they step closer to be near me and in my personal space. My personal bubble isn't huge but I do like to have some personal space.

I wonder if people even realize they are doing this and do they even notice when someone steps back away from them because they're too close? eyebrow:

when you are unloading your groceries on the belt to be checked out and the person behind starts putting theirs there also. Not even a partition put down. I got it the other day and said DO YOU MIND? WAIT!
I really hate this. They like to push their cart closer behind you as well.

It has been my experience that folks personal space may be cultural or a power play. I had a boss that stood on the end of my nose. I could smell her lunch. I believe that for her it was cultural but just to cover myself in case it was about power I never backed up.
