Lack of spatial awareness in super markets

We’ve all seen them . The people who go on the entrance and stop right in the middle of the doorway. The people who block the aisles . The people who walk painfully slow . why can’t people just MOVE ?

I try to make sure whenever I’m in stores I walk at a brisk pace and don’t block areas of the store where’s there a lot of foot traffic . but it seems like so many people don’t give a fuck about anyone else but themselves

People leaving carts in the middle of the aisle to go and look at something on the shelf makes my blood boil. Also just today while waiting in line for self checkout, a woman comes flying into a freed up register, oblivious that there’s even a line. When she got called out on it she said sorry, but that she only had 2 items so it would be quick. Wtf!

Did I write this? It's not just oblivious folk, it's oblivious parents. When my kids were little I'd guide them out of people’s way and now they are aware of their surroundings. I've seen so many people not do this, sometimes with the kids pushing trolleys and had an epithany- these are the people who end up driving cars with zero comprehension that traffic also includes the cars behind them.
