I have always been amazed by how discourteous or unaware people are with folks around them (ex: blocking isles...). I found myself in a situation where there was only one way out, and it was blocked by someone wearing a mask, I just marched toward her until she decided to, in a panic, move herself and her cart. No words were spoken.
My wife used to be embarrassed to shop with me. She is now amused, and tells the stories to all our friends.
Happy shopping!
A common occurrence for me as well.
Usually two largettes blithely chatting away with carts perfectly angled to prevent egress.
A loud EXCUSE MEEEE receives dirty looks but the caterwauling stops long enough for me to plow through.
I’m right there with you, especially when the limpers go to COSTCO for the buffet lunch....you know, the samples at the end of the aisle.(which they aren’t doing now because of “rona”)
They just stand there eating, blocking the aisles, holding conversations, looking at you like you are nuts for trying to get by.
I’ve discovered on my many hikes that I can make anybody get out of my way simply because I don’t wear a mask on the trail. I just stride down the trail and everybody gets out of the way...many get ten feet off into the weeds.
A young Chinese-American mom won first prize a week ago. She was hiking up the hill with little boy, about four. She saw me coming down the trail (a pretty steep one with a good drop-off and lots of poison oak all around) and told her little boy “Now face the imaginary wall.” They stopped, turned their backs to me, and looked out over the canyon below. I have to hand it to her for creativity with her little guy, but she’s probably raising a complete neurotic.
