Stand one metre from (say) an American and they will freak the hell out; stand one metre from an Italian and they'll wonder whether they smell.

From what I'm told about queues in New York, there might be significant regional variations among Americans in that respect.

queues

Not obvious to me that that can be generalized to other interactions. Some people could be much less creeped out by someone waiting in a line two feet behind them but not otherwise interacting with them in any way than by someone standing in front of them talking to them at the same distance.
