This is a pretty bitter and antisocial meme. God forbid that people enjoy a normal social life and live in a community where they have the opportunity to encounter people they care about and connect with them. Do you really prefer an impersonal and anonymous public life?
You're totally right, that makes me feel so much better about having to wait idly for the next 19 minutes rather than get my shopping done. They're not in my way, they're connecting! I should try to connect with them, too!
Wow, they left. Why don't they want to connect anymore?
Such a weird take. Just say excuse me or I need to get through. Very easy. People aren't mind readers and they aren't purposely trying to make your life harder.
Seriously what the hell is going on in this thread. Think everyone should take a deep breath and realize that we all make mistakes and inconvenience each other sometimes, but most of us will also correct our mistake if it's brought to our attention
Most of us will literally never make that "mistake" because we're aware that other people exist, even when nobody's standing next to us screaming "HEY, I EXIST! CAN YOU TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT PLEASE?"
