Day 3, Friday: Things that make you uncomfortable
- Funerals and calling hours
- Racist or sexist jokes
- Unstructured time
- Student-filled cafeterias at meal times
- Introducing myself to strangers in social situations
- Anxiety
- Cold calling businesses to solicit for donations
- Calling service businesses to schedule appointments
- Strangers randomly talking to me when we're in a forced situation (like at the laundromat or in a waiting room)
- Personal space hogs
- Trying a new restaurant and having the owners hover
- Having my form of payment rejected
- Cats, birds, and most bugs

Funerals make me uncomfortable also but the older I get the more I am attending!
I hate cold calling businesses for donations or really asking for donations. I had to do it several years for Girl Scouts and PTA...it sucked and I still hate it.
Personal space hogs and rejected payments make me uncomfortable too.
I am guilty of being the stranger that talks to people in a waiting room...sorry.
Oh! I hate personal space hogs, too! And, even though I've never had my credit card rejected ever in my life, I'm always uncomfortable when they're checking.
Personal space hogs--definitely. I used to work with this doctor from Greece who thought it was ok to kiss (!!!!) all the nurses hello, one kiss on each cheek. I had to take him in my office and tell him that was definitely NOT ok. We're not in Greece.
Made me think of a quote from "Dirty Dancing" --- "this is your dance space, and this is my dance space..."
Lots of things to be uncomfortable about! A lot of those worry me too, sometimes!
