if people are getting too close to you

[ninikins]

I was amazed to see that there is now a jacket on the market that guarantees personal safety by releasing an electric shock to those who get to close:

"Developed as a personal safety device, this wearable defensive jacket is manufactured from an exo-electric fabric armour which, in the event of being physically attacked will interfere with the assailant’s neurological impulses – resulting not only in a particularly painful non-lethal shock but involuntary spasms, complete loss of orientation and loss of balance, thus affording you valuable time to make good your escape."

A bit dangerous that jacket. You may harm a friend or a family member.

That's incredible. I know personal space is important, but holy cow!

That is cool! For a college student like me, may be useful around the area called the "student ghetto." Sometimes I wonder how people think of these things!

I know some people can somtimes get too close. But a jacket like that I think is caring it a little too far.

Oh I think it's fabulous. I HATE when you can't even turn around in a store for the people standing right up your rump.

This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. WHile delivering a painful shock to a would-be attacker sounds great, delivering one to someone's child who accidentally bumps into you at the supermarket will RUIN you financially.

People bumping into me in the store is certainly annoying, but I'm not out to hurt people!

Hmm, looks very interesting...I'll check it out...I might even be tempted to buy it lol...

Yes, but what happens if someone is accidentally too close, and you go and shock them! Unneccessary!
