[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You were so passive-aggressive. Why not just say to her "Please get off my body." Say it as a statement or a directive, not a plea. [/quote]

But OP got the kid off her body without making a huge scene. Why is being loud better? [/quote]

I didn’t say I would say it loudly. There’s no reason why saying a five word sentence like the one I suggested should cause a “huge scene “. [/quote]

Why use words at all? People will hear you. it will he a distraction. If i had to use words i might have just said “no” and removed the leg from my personal space. But OP bumped the leg off. Words aren’t always needed or better. Gestures, looks, and moving your own body work too.[/quote]

I rather not be passive aggressive. [/quote]

So would other people but being confrontational and aggressive in a venue like this is inappropriate. There are other ways to get the desired outcome. Guaranteed people behaving badly will also react badly to a perceived threat. Everyone around you would hope all of you get thrown out.[/quote]
