Totally fake and staged. The carts both need to be at a 45° angle to 100% block and not leave space to try to squeeze by.

Them: "Oh what a coincidence to meet you here!"

In my head: YOU'RE NEIGHBOURS, IT'S NOT SPECIAL THAT YOU MEET IN THE ONLY FUCKING SUPERMARKET AROUND HERE!

The drivers who will stop and talk to each other on a two lane road are even worse. They see they are blocking traffic in both directions but keep talking.

Gosh, I thought this was a thing only in my area.

This literally happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I even honked the horn and they just ignored it and kept talking like they were the only ones on the road. Some people are just so oblivious.

I have no problems saying excuse me in a loud clear voice and blasting right through the center of those conversations. Being a performer at the local Renaissance festival for 30 years teaches you how to blow right through crowds with people in the way.

Pretty sure the people saying this behavior is okay are the same people who like to slam their seats into people's knees on airplanes.

Bonus points if they stand in front of the door when you're trying to leave the store.

Weird that so many people are being so downvoted for saying that conversation is a healthy thing and "excuse me" is an option.

[–] BigNote@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's because people see it as implying that the fact that one can say "excuse me" implies that it's therefore OK to be obnoxiously oblivious in public. I could be wrong, but I think that's what is going on.

exactly, it shouldn't have to require asking for you to be courteous. You should just be courteous, unprompted. If you want to have a conversation that's great, just kindly move off to the side

It’s blessed to see people having a nice chat in public.

Where I live (Philadelphia suburbs) it's exactly like this except both people are driving. And they always get pissed when you honk because roads aren't for actual driving or anything.

What especially pisses me off about this sort of thing is that I KNOW both people are on Facebook and already know every fucking thing there is to know about the other person.

Quickest way to get them to love is to join their conversation.

"Oh my god Stacy, haven't seen you in ages! How are the kids?"

ME: "Hi Stacy, wow I thought you only used that name on OnlyFans"

Yall just tell them to move.

[–] DudePluto@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's hilarious that you're downvoted because asking them to move has never failed in my experience. Given I'm in the Midwest and there's the whole "Midwestern sensibility" stereotype, but I don't think anyone here is different from anywhere else.

Most people who do this either don't think about the fact they're blocking the whole aisle or they don't realize you want through. A simple excuse me will let them know

My shopping cart is a weapon!

This is unrealistic. In real life, they'd be standing next to a pillar.

[–] pythonoob@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

In real life they're in fucking cars taking up both lanes near the exit to the neighborhood.
