A friend of mine plays Queen Victoria at Dickens festivals, etc. She makes all her own costumes, and they are authentic to the period. She drives her car in costume, which is pretty impressive.
I had a Spanish professor in college (both subject and country of origin) who would stand so close, it was almost nose touching--very uncomfortable for an American. Anyone talking with him would back up, only to have him move up really close again. What was normal for him was really uncomfortable for us.
This is a fairly serious problem. Lunada Bay is in a wealthy area, and the locals (Bay Boys) consider it their territory. The coast is traditionally open to all (with some exceptions), and their harassment of non-locals who want to surf there should be punished. They keep getting away with it, though.
My favorite dog in the whole world can make noises that would make you think he was ten times as big and being tortured by an expert just to express displeasure.
