If you can't handle people near you in public, you don't belong in public. amirite?

So, you're the guy buying a ticket to sit directly beside me when the movie theatre is empty? Explain to me how that isn't weird?

by No-Cancel-7500 4 days ago

This. It's not that it is wrong, but people tend to want to be near those that they know and to give space to those that they don't until they know each other. It is also more convenient to allow space to stretch, not have to smell each others food as much, not hear conversations on phones, etc.

People tend? This is not an immutable trait. People used to be very curious and friendly towards strangers pre internet. You could just start a convo with someone and make a friend. It's not that it's weird. It's just a lot of people are under socialized and get stressed out by a situation they're not sure how to handle. Dogs do the same thing

you can still just start a convo with someone and make a friend. you just started a convo with someone. not sure about the making a friend part given the tone tho. people have always been social. people have also always been vary of strangers, especially ones that were acting unduly familiar with them for no reason. if you were alone in a restaurant and someone just joined your table without asking and started talking to you like you were old pals you'd likely not be comfortable with that. sometimes people want to enjoy their activities alone. if someone is alone at a movie theater, chances are, they prefer watching movies alone. same goes for sitting on a park bench, eating in a restaurant or whatever activity that is often done with a companion but some people prefer doing alone. purposefully disrupting that is a dick move, plain and simple.

Ok, but hear me out on the counter point. Why did you pick that seat? Was it because of it's location in the theater? Is it possible that someone has the same preference but you beat them to the seat choice?

by No-Cancel-7500 3 days ago

You're conflating having to accept that people will be near you in public with someone specifically choosing to be near someone else in public when they don't have to be. In a crowded theatre, yes, everyone understands all the seats are going to need to be filled. In an empty theater, it's a deliberate choice to sit next to someone. These are not the same and it's a social norm to give people extra personal space when feasible. Do you not understand this distinction?

Because it's 100% weird. It's one thing to tolerate people being right up on you when there's no other option, but to get right up next to someone when there's no reason to and other equally good options are available is strange. You don't leave a urinal gap, do you?

I disagree. I'm social and bubbly by nature, but not every interaction in public needs to be social—sometimes a simple "hey, how's it going" is enough. If I park in an empty lot all the way in the back, someone shouldn't park right next to me unless there's a good reason—like they have the same car or some other obvious connection. Sitting next to me in an empty café when it's clear I'm focused and not in a social mood also feels strange. People should be able to read the room. Public spaces don't mean no boundaries; it's about respecting context. That doesn't mean avoiding public spaces entirely—it means coexisting without forcing closeness.

Not just that, but public spaces are there to BE public. A train station is a public space but it's not there for socialising, it's there for trains. I didn't walk into McDonalds to ask you about your day, I was hungry. Maybe I'm just walking home from work, am tired, hungry and still coming down from a stressful day and maybe I need some alone time to decompress and since I don't live at work I have to get home via public spaces.

Completely agree. It's situation dependent. It would be annoying as F for a random person to sit next to you on an empty bus and talk endlessly.

It depends on the context. I think if you go to a bar and want to be left alone (which some people do), you're an idiot. Those are social gathering places. If I am just walking down the sidewalk minding my own business, that's not an invitation to get in my face and talk my ear off. Saying hello is perfectly fine though, and most normal people are okay with that.

by Tough_Sun_7374 3 days ago

It's perfectly reasonable to go to a bar and "want to be left alone." One can't expect to be left alone, but they have every right to say "I don't want to engage with you, stranger, or even friend."

I think you're confusing normal space sharing with personal boundaries. I'm not mad that another person is in the gym with me, at a movie theater, in a public parking lot or store. I'm mad that in an empty parking lot you chose the space next to me (I have a nice car and don't want my car door dinged or scratched due to another person's negligence - which happened to me a month ago). I'm mad that in an almost empty theater you chose to sit right next to us and proceed to talk and be loud during the movie (which has recently happened to me as well). Even as a woman I know that in the men's bathroom if there's multiple urinals you don't choose the one right next to another guy. There's a difference between shared space and personal boundaries.

As a woman it can be pretty scary when strangers especially men sit near me when there's no reason for them too. I chose to sit away from everyone for a reason.

IDK. Part of the public space being tolerable as a public space is individuals understanding bubbles and giving people their privacy. IDK if you are a man, but I don't like it when other men sidle up to me at an empty bank of urinals, and I say this as a gay man. It's just unseemly and I expect a person to have a reason for getting unnecessarily close to me.

by Anonymous 2 days ago

Personally I always question the motive of someone who does this. Are they going to try to speak to me? Usually its a man in my experience, so what do they want from me? Should I be protecting my person or my stuff? Should i move? That would seem rude. Wait why do i care about being rude to a stranger? Because thats who i am. Suddenly im not concentrating on what I want to be and instead my brain is trying to figure out what this person wants and why they chose to ignore this silent agreement humans generally have with one another regarding personal space when available.

If you crave acknowledgment so badly that you feel the need to sit next to the one other person in an empty theater, or get on the treadmill next to the only other person in a gym when there's tons of other treadmills available, you may be lonely.

I'm gonna guess that you're a cis straight white male. If you can't figure out why it's uncomfortable, or even threatening, to have a random stranger pick a seat or treadmill or urinal or whatever directly beside you when there are a lot of other spots available, you have never been a victim, nor have you ever had to think about being a victim. Minorities-especially visible ones-and women have to think about this constantly. They have to worry about that random person's intentions, they have to plan a potential act of self-defence, they have to plan an escape route, all while they were just planning on seeing a movie or going for a walk. For you, it's just sitting next to someone. For that someone else, it's "how am I about to become a statistic?"

maybe not in the cinema but generally in public spaces, seating is designed to fit as many people in as possible, rather than for comfort, so when somebody does sit next to you they are so close it often feels like an invasion of personal space, so yeah if there is free space available it is weird if you sit next to a stranger. Good unpopular opinion though.

If I'm in a crowded pub, I expect people accidentally touching me, spilling their drinks on me, having to smell their beery breath and whatnot. But when I sit down to a table with my friends, I don't expect them to join us because I'm there with my friends, not with strangers. Sure, if there's no empty tables left I'd never say feck off to anyone, sure, we have one more seat, take it. I've met amazing people this way. But if there's one. Just one. Then why the feck do you have to sit with us? You're not part of the group, you don't know us, you don't know our lives, you can't join the conversation, and sorry if I don't want to talk about generic stuff with my friends just because you're there and I don't want you to feel exlcuded, even if you are...

Just because it's public space doesn't mean you lose personal space. Someone purposefully coming way closer to you than necessary and not stringing up a convo is weird. If the place is empty it's inappropriate to come so close, if the place is packed it's completely appropriate to even be so close you're touching others. We ARE social animals and there's social rules, giving more space when you're around people you don't know and there's that space to be had IS the socially appropriate thing to do, it's a social rule.
