When someone occupies a weight machine so you can't use it but they just sit there, napping, texting, chatting, whatever.

When in a public place with plenty of open seats, a person chooses to sit right next to you for no viable reason.
I usually go to the library early Wednesday mornings since no one is there. Today, it was empty as usual but some creep committed a major public proximity violation and sat RIGHT NEXT to me at the huge table in the law area!

The selfish asshole who proudly refuses to wear a facemask during a pandemic. This person is culpable for spreading contagion among a population. A proximate schnoz will still expect sympathy when they catch covid, ebola, or similar plagues. We won't forget the proximate schnozs among us.
Yeah, Steve is real prick- the proximate schnoz of the office - he looks sweaty, bet the asshole has a fever. Motherfucker just sneezed, I'm out!

When your computer program isn't working right but when a friend or co-worker stands next to you, it starts to work, even though they hadn't done anything to assist you.
-Will you just come and stand next to my computer? I need some proximity tech support.
-Ah, thanks! Now its printing.
-Ah, thanks! Now its printing.

Someone living close to school/uni/work will always be later than someone living far away. The closer they live, the later they will arrive.
Lecturer: "John, how can you be late everyday? You live on campus!"
John: "It's the Law of Inverse Proximity, sir - I live so close it's physically impossible for me to get here on time!"

Somebody in a relationship who secretly masturbates to porn instead of making love to their partner. They have disloyal hands.
Peter performed disloyal proximal phalanges activities when he went and tossed off in the toilet instead of making love to his girlfriend.
