What creeps you out?

Like Aliantha said, guys who don't know American standard spacing in public. Yikes, gimme room, son!

Is it a different story for you Britons? You guys are considered European, aren't you? And I hear their public and intimate space is way different.

We're only technically European - our public space is 11 miles (Dover to Calais for those not in the know)

I think you'll find we're about the same as the Americans, if not even more cautious about getting close. Except on the Tube, and even then correct form is to pretend the person with their nose in your armpit isn't really there.

In my experience Americans have a smaller personal space and are way more touchy-feely than Brits.

I'm not keen on:

really pale blue eyes
the grids at the bottom of swimming pools
veins in roast beef
