I remember learning the lesson about personal body space (PBS) vividly in elementary school, but I suppose not everyone got the memo... on the train a while back, there was a woman with a very interesting tag around her neck. It said:
"In case of fire, remember: R.A.C.E."
I was intrigued, but not as much as the suited up older man next to me, who, without asking, walked over to her while the train was still moving, took hold of the tag, and pulled it super close to his eyes to read. That's FAR too close, sir. Finally, after we stopped and the doors had opened for a few seconds, the woman calmy and politely stated that she needed to get off. What just happened here? Me and my seatmates exchanged the obligatory awkward moment laughs, and I seriously had to give credit to that woman for not yelling "GET BACK" like we do in RAD class... She didn't even flinch when he came close to her. I dunno. I think he would've gotten a tap to the jugular if that had been me. Lucky for him.
