Guys with huge backpacks standing in front of the back door of the bus waiting to get off 5 stops from now and inevitably getting in someone's way who needs to get off first when there's plenty of open seats and bars to hold onto away from the door. SIT DOWN
Ugh just generally people who have no understanding of "people need to get on and off this train/bus regardless of when you are getting off the train" are the worst. Wait to the side of the door to let people off, then get on, then get outta the way, then move towards the door when it's your turn to get off and everyone else get the fuck outta the way so people can get on and off it IS NOT COMPLICATED
I think I'm probably overly considerate of people around me when it comes to physical space and trying not to inconvenience them, so it generally drives me crazy when people lack self awareness in those kinds of situations. Taking up a whole sidewalk, walking down the middle of the grocery aisle, stopping in a doorway to text someone, etc. It's really not that big of a deal and I just say "excuse me" and they snap back to reality but internally I'm like "MOVE".
The worst is when you say excuse me but they're so absorbed in what they're doing that they don't even acknowledge your presence. And then you find a way by them anyway and they startle. Like bro YOU CHOSE TO BE OUT IN PUBLIC you gotta deal with the fact that other people are out there too!
Every day I restrain myself from doing extreme violence to groups of people who insist on walking side by side no matter the situation
Omg. The people who just stop when they are walking in front of me or a 2-3 person impromptu chat in the middle of a walkway or entryway. It happens all the time. I’m going to lose it.
