 Common Courtesy...Not So Common

what's with people?
almost every time i go to the grocery store, and im going down an isle, and someone is there with their cart in the middle of the isle, and they look at me and notice me coming, and they dont move their cart, and i reach them and look at them, and they just look back at me, and then i have to say "excuse me", and THEN they move their cart. why cant they just keep to one side in the first place, like i do?
and why do my co-workers use foul language before they even know me?

You know I was just thinking about the grocery store thing the other day. One time I said excuse me and the woman told me that she would just be a minute and proceeded to block my path...straight up annoying.
Cursing however is a pretty bad habit of mine so I probably contribute some to that one, but I am getting better.

Most everyone stays well out of my way.
Apparently I ooze a feeling of hate though. That probably has something to do with it. I'm also a fucking power shopper. I'm like a freight train on a mission when i shop.
People are so self absorbed they just don't have common courtesy. Thank the times.

You know what bugs the shit out of me? When you let somebody go in traffic by waving them on or something and they don't wave, nod, or otherwise thank me. Makes me wish I never let them go. Common courtesy is to thank somebody when they do something nice for you.

im the same way, but i show common courtesy. i wont cut people off and get in their way.
sometimes, i can tell that people will purposely do it, probley because they see me on a mission and for some reason(probley bitterness) they want to delay me. im never really in a hurry though, i just dont like spending a lot of time shopping.
also, what's it called when someone doesn't like you because you dont want to be their friend, but your still nice to them? is that a form of arrogance?

I'm such a fucking asshole about that, when people drive way up and try to force there way in, without even the fake wave. I block them out. was,was over aggressively. I've followed people for miles and miles over little shit like that.
Stupid Fucking people,being stupid fucking people on the roads, I can not tolerate.

im never bothered by it...because they may be focused on safe driving rather than waving back. personally, i always wave or nod.

People in the south give thank you waves or nods but when I lived out west it was unheard of (from personal experience).
Rude people are not worth your energy, especially in traffic. My shining moments in calling people out on rude behavior have been in lines at the grocery or other busy public places when assholes try to skip in front of not only me but the others behind me as well. I like to call them out in front of everyone, that's when you truly shine.

Yeah people in the south are more courteous but the counterbalance that by holding personal ideals of hatred and bigotry

Hah. I hate grocery stores. Whenever i go by myself, I run straight for whatever items i already know i need (with no cart of course, even if its 2 cases of water), then straight for the self checkout.

It's even more courteous to do something for somebody without expecting anything in return. It's really awesome actually, try it sometime.

I used to work retail and it's insane how people treat you like you are sub-human in that situation
We used to have people not only piss but shit in the dressing rooms.
Attention- If a dressing room says out of order don't go in, you could be tromping around in feces
