No worst then the ahole at Starbucks standing at the lil' table putting cream and sugar hogging up that space stirring their coffee and zipping at it until their liking, sometimes talking with their friends jsut standing there. I take my coffee black, all I wanted was a napkin and don't want to reach in front of them. when I do, I often get a dirty look as I am normally in a hurry. They are just oblivious to their surrounding just like the dumb fk that pull up to the last pump while the one up front is open.

I am seeing this more and more, people just not caring one whit that they are completely in the way, and blocking progress. Whether it is shopping carts in the middle of the isle, drivers checking emails at traffic lights, or blocking gas pumps to get a big gulp. God forbid that you actually cll them out, and say something, then YOU are the azzhole.

Oblivious people (trying to be nice, I usually call them stupid people). In that situation, I usually get right up behind them drop my voice a bit lower and really project it as I say "excuse me" while I'm reaching past them. The "excuse me" usually makes them jump.

I was in a packed museum exhibit once ("Body Works", I think it was called) when the woman in front of me looked in a display case, then turned her back on it leaning up against it and started hanging out and chatting with the rest of the folks that she was there with. The exhibit was basically standing room only. That case was the next thing for me to look at, so I fully leaned up against her with the right side of the front of my body pressed against the left side of the front of her body while I looked over her shoulder at the case. It took about 1/2 a second before she was outta there in a puff of smoke like a looney toons cartoon. Invasion of personal space is very motivating for most people.

Another one that I see a lot is folks that walk into or out of a building (like a grocery store or something) and stop just inside of or outside of the main entrance dead center of the space that what may be a ton of other customers will be streaming through to get into/out of the building. The stop may be to play with their phone, talk to the people that they are with or scratch their butt.

Smoke.
Stop directly in front of the damn doors to light a cig or have a hit on one of those crazy vape machines.... Then you have to walk through their wake of hazardous material.
I wish there were more azzholes like the op. Keeps things moving and gives the self involved knuckleheads in the universe someone to be pizzed off at...

When you are frustrated because you can not relieve stresses in your life, people tend to become a bit more vindictive and thus less polite... "Why the fk should I get out of his way, what makes him so special after all I'm being bent over evey day so I am going to take my time...fk him"

As I have said so many time before...when the stress builds without relief people become more reactive and likely to snap...some might call that going POSTAL...

Why the fk do ya think Trump got elected...people are fed up with the solicitous platitudes of the establishment while they see their situation deteriorating. This is something the LEFT can not get their heads around.

On one grocery store shopping experience I was going down the aisles and one large female person was going along with her cart on one side and then she would stop, and walk across the aisle to browse the first time I just changed aisles and went on since I was just starting on that aisle. She did it to me a second time. Completely blocking the aisle, the cart on one side and her on the other.

I was not in my happy place. I just gave her cart a nice hard shove and walked on past. Yep, pure jerk move on my part but I was not interested in waiting on some oblivious shopper delaying my escape from the grocery store. I went around once, but not twice.
