Re: what reactions do you get?
Well, sometimes people go into coughing, sneezing fits. Sometimes I get a groan. A wrinkled face. A sudden relocation, oh I was going to sit there but woah, not anymore! One guy today said "It smells like butt." Another lady says "I think this bus gets fecal matter on its seats." Hey at least she was blaming the seats. ;)
A guy on a plane in front of me had a fit of gagging, unlike I've ever seen before. In a job interview, a woman interviewing me gagged. (Needless to say, despite performing very admirably, I wasn't given an offer.)
I'm getting impressed at the distance I can carry. One guy in a bus, he was more than seven feet away...turned around and scowled.
One time a cowrorked who resided in a cubicle a good thirty feet away from me came to close my office door.
One girl on a bus squirted perfume at my legs.
Scowls of disgust are my absolute favorite. There is always a universal accusation in these kind of reactions. Like I'm just not showering (twice a day on average, guys.) Or taking care of things back there. (Oh how I scrub and scrub) Some people even say "It only takes one shower a day. Maybe one a week."
I'm at a breaking point. Fantasizing about going to wal mart and buying me a pistol. I don't want to live like this anymore. I haven't given up but I'm flirting with giving up. I used to find some humor in it, these reactions. But now its just one miserable encounter after another, and they seem to be getting worse.
