>> If someone gets uncomfortably close to me, I do the stepping back, discreetly.
I find that rarely works. If they feel they need to be 18" away to talk to me, they just step forward.
At the moment I have my own personal building site. The last person I had to say something to was a groundworker. I must have moved backwards at least six feet, a foot at a time, and he just kept repositioning himself. I think I said "You just stay there - I'm trying to keep a bit of distance between us for both our sakes". He was fine about it.
