Personal space invaders are seriously everywhere...from sales assistants in the shops, work colleagues to fellow commuters on the train.

There is nothing worse than when you are sitting at your desk and suddenly there is a colleagues face literally on your shoulder. There are many tools you can use to try and prevent this space rape from happening such as trying to create space by opening a notebook or folder, reaching for a drink bottle or something from the far side of your desk or just jut out your elbow and give them a swift nudge to the ribs by accident of course.

If you get a space invader in a shop or bump into a friend in a public space that tends to be a bit close for comfort you really have it easy, simply take a step back and grab something from the nearest clothes rack to put some space between you both.

The WORST is the public commute space invader. Mainly because they are going to be a complete stranger and there is nothing worse than having some complete random literally a centimetre from your face...I just don't understand why anyone would want to be right up in someones grill. Just subtly try and turn your back on them so they stop their breathing in your face.
If this doesn't the situation I would say it is completely fine to smack them one.

If all else fails just give them massive stink eye until they realise they are doing something weird!
