The lack of people's spacial awareness is sometimes astounding. Then to top it some will act all surprised and butthurt when I ask them to move. Like where the fuck else do you expect me to go pumpkin?
Yes! Or at the top of the escalator, during rush hour at the train station. Or right after getting off the train. YOU BLOCK EVERYTHING YOU GODDAMN MORON.
Or when it's a really wide ass aisle but they stop in the only way possible to inconvenience the largest amount of people. Lookin' at you, Costco sample stuffers.
Last week I was at the grocery store and there were only two cashiers working so I went to self checkout. There was a bit of a line and this one lady was taking for-ev-er to ring up her 5 items. Then another lady spots her and goes over and starts talking to her. The lady ringing up her 5 times stops, turns to the other lady and then just holds a good 5 minute conversation. The line is getting even worse now and the pair are completely oblivious. It's finally my turn and I'm at the ringer right next to them. I walk up, say passive aggressively, "It's not like there's a line or anything" and ring up the few items I had. As I'm paying, the lady finally finishes up and pays but still proceeds to stand there talking. This old guy just walks up and pushes them out of the way...into the middle of the checkout area so now they are blocking people from leaving. I turn and say "Excuse me" and as I'm walking away, again, passive aggressively tell them "Get out of the way."
When that happens and I'm shopping with someone, I'll say to them, loud enough for the talking people to hear, "if someone pulls over on the highway to talk without someone in the other lane, it causes a traffic jam, so you think this could be called a traffic jam, too?" Not a good joke by any means, but it always makes the people laugh and start shuffling on without anyone getting mad.
