Just like walking down the entire sidewalk holding hands and putting their purse where you want to sit: they do it specifically to piss you off.

DaBabyAteMaDingo ,

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 ☺️

Astounding number of fucked up basement dwellers on Lemmy I guess

I can guarantee you do not pay 100% attention to your surroundings at all times. Even trained spies can’t do that. Sometimes you get caught up in something and otherwise forget. This is a case of special pleading…also known as a double standard. You’re expecting perfection from others but can’t meet that expectation yourself.

PunnyName ,

Get out of the doorway.
Get out of the aisle.

Be courteous to the people around you, even if they aren’t there yet.

stranger ,

It really is THAT simple. Why do I need to stand in a doorway, or somewhere that I know is going to have some kind of traffic eventually, to talk? Just don’t stand in the way, or move out of the way when you notice you need to, and things move smoothly. IDK what the other person is on about being 100% aware and a spy isn’t capable of doing that. That’s hyperbolic and irrelevant. It’s not hard to look up or in front of you and move, and it’s even easier not to stand in an obnoxious spot or obstruct space for no reason

TimewornTraveler ,

Why do I need to stand there? Well, why do I need to move if no one’s there? Why do we have to do anything? Why don’t I just look after me, and trust that you will speak up for yourself? If I notice you, I’ll accommodate. If I don’t notice you, I’ll be courteous when you say “Excuse me.” Why is that so hard for you to understand? You know it’s actually just as easy to say those two words as is it to avoid doorways! Maybe we all give each other some grace?

RubiksIsocahedron ,

You’re expecting perfection from others but can’t meet that expectation yourself.

Welcome to dealing with the human species. You’re lucky they’re not beating you for not living up to their unrealistic and hypocritical expectations.

TimewornTraveler ,

But alas it sometimes is. Just face the world that you are given and stop resenting it. Or at least stop holding your breath for everyone to wake up and just do better, especially if that “better” happens to cater specifically to you.

PunnyName ,

WTF are you on about? Just be conscious of your surroundings and when you’re in the way, move.

It’s really not that hard!

Are you literally incapable of saying “excuse me” OP? Are you a shut-in who has no friends to share conversation with?

BigNote ,

More than one thing can be true at once. Sure, saying “excuse me” is perfectly reasonable, but it’s also true that a lot of people are obnoxiously oblivious of their surroundings in public.

some_guy ,

Such as a group of four people who stop in the middle of the sidewalk to chat and don’t notice / make room when someone is trying to walk by. I shouldn’t have to ask you to make room. I will, but you should be self-aware enough to allow others to pass.

For example, people who only turn on their left turn signal when a light turns green. Asshole, if you’d had that on before, I would have changed lanes when approaching a red light. Now I’m stuck because the other lane is full of moving cars and I’m waiting for you to turn. Does it ruin my day? No. But it’s still inconsiderate.

People don’t think of others nearly enough. It’s truly one of my greatest irritations.

Spendrill ,

I have started employing a practice I learned in the Post Office. When approaching I say in a very loud and cheery voice, “Mind your backs, please, mind your backs [ladies and gentlemen*]” repeat until they move and then say, 'Thank you very much, [Ladies and Gents**]."

It pretty much always works to move them out of your way if you say it loud enough and usually the cheeriness means they don’t feel awkward. The trick to it all is to keep walking once they’ve noticed you.

GET OUT OF THE FUCKING DOORWAY

PunnyName , (edited )

Shouldn’t be necessary. People need spacial awareness.

And courtesy.

RubiksIsocahedron ,

What makes you think “excuse me” will work?

You have too much faith in humanity.

ComradePorkRoll ,

Well when you approach the situation like that.

RubiksIsocahedron ,

It doesn’t matter how you approach the situation. Other people aren’t going to let your behavior affect their decisions.

Sotuanduso ,

Weird that so many people are being so downvoted for saying that conversation is a healthy thing and “excuse me” is an option.

    I meant in comparison to those complaining that people chatting in a grocery store aisle have 0 empathy.

    BigNote ,

    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.

    scrubbles ,
    @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

    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

    katie_lied ,

    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?”

    Why’d you assume we’re talking about women?

    That’s kinda sexist of you if you ask me

    Rachelhazideas ,

    For the tone deaf people who say this isn’t sexist or 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.

    Nice try with the ‘no u’ card, but calling people sexist for pointing out sexism is cringe and absurd.

    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.

    Surely rolling my eyes and sighing is a better option.

    wtf

    ARk ,

    No no, this is truly an attack on the female sex don’t you see? No funny relatable memes allowed in this regard.

    AVG2520 ,

    It’s “relatable” that you’re bothered by people you don’t know talking in public? Back to moms basement with you.

    Ironic that he’s pulling the misogyny card when it’s sexist itself to assume that the meme was referring to woman

    The meme is literally two women.

    It’s literally a picture of two women, the comments are all about women here, the tone is clearly meant to describe a stereotype. Are you joking?

    Can you explain why pointing out misogyny is somehow about hating men? I’m struggling with your mental gymnastics here.

    At no point did I say anything about ‘men’. I said Lemmy’s 77% male userbase is prejudiced towards women.

    That is neither hateful or bigoted. It’s a fact that misogynist like you are blind to.

    ‘Logic’ my ass. Nothing about what you say is rational. You’re simply triggered for being called out on your poor behavior.

    I am sure, the same meme but with two men in the photo wouldn’t get so many upvotes. Many people still love sexist clichés.

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

    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.

    I don’t even acknowledge people I know when I’m driving, let alone roll down the window and block traffic to talk to them

    KuroJ ,

    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 ,

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

    bloodfart ,

    It’s blessed to see people having a nice chat in public.

    Rolando ,

    ikr it’s a grocery store, not an Amazon warehouse.

    ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

    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.

    “O.M.G. YES! Did you see mine?!”

    Meanwhile both have liked and commented on each other’s posts.

    I told the 2 ladies “please move away, I need to leave” and they said “do you mind, we’re talking 🤨”… to which I just pulled out my phone, dialed 911 and started explaining how 2 women aren’t letting me leave the market… they got pissed as hell and other people shoved them over to the side, said not to make a fuss. I left and told the operator that the problem has been resolved, to not send units over.

    I really have no idea what’s wrong with some people…
