I've been harping about this forever - give people space

[nevets88]

This hasn't happened to me in awhile, last time was back in September, but still.

This happens surfing, in movie theaters, parking lots, baseball games, empty flights, etc. You must have one of those positive aura's, that just sucks people towards you. 

[mchepp]

I must have that same positive aura thingy going on because I have the same issue with both the bathroom and range. Sometimes on the range, I will have my tripod in the spot next to me and someone will still drop their bag and give me a look until I move it. When the whole range is empty. I don't get it.

[Mr. Desmond]

I almost always pick a spot at either end of the range. I don't want anyone to hear my muttered self-talk laced with an occasional sh$t while I'm working. Working on telling myself to shut up and figure it out.

I had two children with their mom decide that under my back swing was the best place to be one afternoon at Kittyhawk. We were the only ones out there and the tee line is at least 50 yards wide.

On the other hand, I've reached the point in my golfing career where I can impress small children. That's nice.

I don't seem to have this problem even though I'm not too bothered by the whole personal space concept. The aura I give off must mean "leave me the **** alone"

I think it may be a deodorant thing

There are people that cannot be alone, and need someone close, others need that space between each other.
Just lookup for the one´s that are like you and respect the ones that not.

When I go to the range, I am looking for the flattest spot possible. Sometimes there aren't very many at the ranges near me, and if the only one left is directly next to you, then guess what, you've got a new neighbor. 

[nevets88]

When you live in a place that is a little claustrophobic and wall to wall people, I guess it's status quo to knee jerk impose that on yourself? Human nature to group up as well. Just thinking aloud.

[Groucho Valentine]

Everyone wants to get in the stall next to me so they can see the awesome artillery display.

[NM Golf]

Go to the side of the range farthest from where you buy balls. People are inherently lazy, their need to be lazy will override their need to be next to you. 

[Elmer]

I find a rather steady diet of beans (bean burritos, Beans & rice, black beans, red beans, pinto beans, etc...) keeps most people away from me most of the time. 

[Denny Bang Bang]

I go to the best available spot, regardless if there’s someone around or not.  Of course, that doesn’t mean I enjoy crowding anyone.

[rehmwa]

Of course, it it's a grass range and the clientele abuse the turf, sometimes there might only be a couple stalls that are any good.  Some places those might be near each other.

And it seems even those, if you have a grass line to hit off, invariably you are standing in muck.

(here I would put a gratuitous link to a "how to use the grass range" thread, but I'm heading out so no time to find it)

here it is...   Literally my biggest pet peeve in all of anything.

I might be imagining this, but I thought I saw something where the individual divots on the right will heal and regrow more quickly than the lines on the left.

maybe.  I don't know much about that.   What I do know is that if everyone operates like the person on the left, you can have like 10 people use one stall per day and all have nice grass to hit off of.  

If people are like the person on the right, one person can ruin the entire stall in an hour.
