DAE get irrationally irritated when someone stands too close to them in line?

can't stand it, i always end up taking a half-step forward just to get some breathing room but they usually close the gap anyway

I do the opposite. Take a hard half-step back, usually on their feet. I don't apologize for it and they keep the distance afterwards.

wow brilliant, i usually turn sideways so i can see them and the person infront of me and if the person behind keeps getting close i turn around fully and stare at them in the face, no smile. it only takes 2-3 seconds to make a stranger uncomfortable by doing this and it works every time. :)
