I don't know what it is with these folks who block doorways, hog aisles in stores and restaurants, take up the whole sidewalk when walking in pairs or groups.
We're not talking about 5-year-olds or kids in grade school. We're talking people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond.
Didn't their parents teach them anything when they were growing up? Like, when in church they and a sibling or two were spread out across a whole pew and their mom would call out "Hey, scoot over already! Make room for others to sit". Or, when going out somewhere and it was two or three of them in the back seat, and mom stopped off to pick up a couple more friends or relatives to join them, and she'd scold them "Hey, kids, there's still enough room for another back there. Scoot over."
It's hard to believe anyone could live as long as some people have and no-one's ever told them "Hey, come on. Move over already!" or "Hey, man! Outta my way!" enough times for it to finally sink in they and their friends (or close relatives) are not the only ones occupying space on planet earth.
But, to this day, there are far too many who still don't know enough to "stand to the side so others can get through as well".
I swear ...
..."normal people"! So many of them can be such megalomaniacs, can't they?
It's truly "THEIR world".
And let's be honest, men are more guilty of wanting to "own" more space than women.
ReplyDeleteI tend to be very conscious of my surroundings and their symmetry and geometric idiosyncrasies along with those who are sharing these same spaces with me.
ReplyDeleteI'm prepared at all times to move out the way as needed or necessary.
