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.

[–] KuroJ@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Gods yes, fuck those people!! Jerks, the lot of 'em.

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

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

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.

[–] NewAgeOldPerson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Rather oddly specific but I get the spirit of your comment...

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"

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yall just tell them to move.

[–] socsa@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

Seen it happen a few times

[–] pythonoob@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

My shopping cart is a weapon!

[–] DaBabyAteMaDingo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I live for these awkward moments:

• Standing in the middle of the aisle? "Excuse me! Pardon me! Thaaaank yeeeeeoouuuu!"

• Not going on a green light because you're looking down at your glowing crotch? Insta-long-honk

• You and your friend are blocking a doorway while chatting? hand on shoulder "Pardon me, young man! Appreesheeyateyah!"

Always wear a smile ☺️

You all ever tried saying 'excuse me'?

Adding this to the long list of things women aren't allowed to enjoy while hurting absolutely no one (uggs, Starbucks, rose, candles, just anything branded feminine)

Edit: for the tone deaf people in the back who say this isn't about women, look again. The whole package of 'OMG', exclamation marks, 'annoying kids', two moms, some annoying trait, is all dog-whistle for people who like to trivialize things women do. This isn't a unique phenomenon in memes. See how men elevate, and women ruin the foods they love.

Before you comment, think about the relevance of your own experiences. Lemmy's userbase is 77% men and sometimes it shows.

Harmless meme: *exists*

People like you: THIS IS MISOGINY

Yeah, your right, its also quite ridiculous that being social when meeting old friends isn't a thing that men do, apperantly
