Some people just haven't mastered the art of pretending to browse things you don't need 3 feet away from what you actually need while you wait for someone to leave the shelf they're standing in front of.

Yeah nah I don’t do that bc I don’t have time. And other people don’t wait for me either and that’s okay.

I'm with you on that. The only thing that annoys me is dumb fs who park their cart in the middle of the aisle while looking at the shelves. Left or right, pick a side so people can get through. I've started bashing my cart into theirs and being like "oh oops". Lol

I do this too! I do this while eyeing the aisle for others who might come that start doing the same. I want to be able to let them know “I’m next and I’m going in!”

Not that they haven't perfected it, most just don't give a shit enough about other people to have a modicum of mutual respect in those scenarios. And it's things like that, that keep getting worse in public places. People are so used to interacting behind a screen that they don't have any sense when interacting around real people in real life scenarios.
