So yesterday I was helping a woman get a library card. Another woman was standing very close to her, only about a foot or so away, & I finally asked her to take a step or two back. I have to verify people's information so I don't like to have people too close so they can overhear. She widened her eyes & acted a little offended, but did step back.
When I was done with the first woman, I assisted the second woman & she asked me why I'd asked her to step back. I told her it was for privacy reasons, & she said, "Oh, I thought you were going to say something about my energy interfering with your computer." I thought that was odd, & said so, & she replied, "No, it actually happens more often than you realize, when people's energy interferes with technology that's close by. I've had a couple of people ask me to stand somewhere else because my energy was too much for their computer."
Huh.
