    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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

    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.

      Praise Satan for grocery delivery and pickup. No more memorizing a store or searching for an hour for that one little thing. No more women getting creeped out for no other reason than you’re a man in a grocery store. As if, beach - no one wants to fuck you.

          No kidding. If you think you’re creeping out women by being “a man in a grocery store” there’s something off about either your behaviour or your perception of the world.

        Store associates (and their little stock search devices) exist so you don’t have to memorize the store or search for an hour. Just ask them a question, that’s literally their edit: our job.

    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.

      I told the 2 ladies “please move away, I need to leave” and they said “do you mind, we’re talking 🤨”… to which I just pulled out my phone, dialed 911 and started explaining how 2 women aren’t letting me leave the market… they got pissed as hell and other people shoved them over to the side, said not to make a fuss. I left and told the operator that the problem has been resolved, to not send units over.

      I really have no idea what’s wrong with some people…

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

      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

        I meant in comparison to those complaining that people chatting in a grocery store aisle have 0 empathy.

    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.

      Yet they still need to catch up on the latest gossip about their kids or the new newigbour who someone saw naked doing OF stuff in front of a camera 😒… like who gives AF, it’s their business, not mine, why would would anyone care about someone else’s business is beyond me.

      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

        Yes, in isolation this isn’t annoying. But it’s the constant, never ending lack of self awareness which adds up to it being annoying.

      Right, and you can just move the shopping cart some idiot left in the middle of the only parking space left too.

      Where I am we’d just say excuse me and they would move. However the point is that people are so in their own world they don’t think about others not being able to get by.

    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”
