When people block aisles at the grocery store and you say “excuse me”, but they act like they don’t hear you and don’t move. It’s literally just you and them in the aisle, they don’t need to have their cart in the middle of the aisle while they stand next to it. There’s enough room for 2 people and their carts to fit in an aisle.
I have moved carts before, with their owners right there. Usually they apologize, so maybe people are just not aware of their surroundings, or maybe I’m a 6’3” big guy with a pissed off look on his face. Could be either
One time I was working my way down the bread/dairy aisle at a grocery store. It’s one of the wider aisles there, if 2 people pulled their carts off to the side, a third person could squeeze down the middle as long as those first two took a little care to not stick out into the aisle too much
Of course they never do
So there I am coming down the middle of the aisle, trying to squeeze between some idiot agonizing over which container of sour cream they should buy, and some moron who can’t decide on a loaf of bread who are stopped directly across from each other, uttering plenty of “'scuze me/pardon me/lemme just squeeze through heres” and of course neither of them move an inch
I nearly make it, but do tap one of their carts a bit in the process
I give her a quick “sorry” and continue on my way.
Then she yells down after me with a very indignant “excuse you”
Lady, you were the one blocking the aisle without any situational awareness, and I already apologized, fucking die mad about it.
Up here during COVID, a lot of grocery stores implemented arrows and traffic directions in their aisles so that no one aisle was two way. They basically became one way streets.
I desperately hoped that they would keep that, but nope. Quickly returned to the old jack-assery.

See you get it. And this seems to becoming more and more frequent of late.
