    Oh no! People socializing in public, better grab a gun.

    Is it really so bad? Are you really that bitter and fed up? Don’t you want somebody to love, you better find somebody to love.

      It’s fine to meet people and talk in stores. I do get OP’s annoyance in some people’s lack of spatial awareness though, that they might be blocking access to something people wanna buy or even blocking the entire fucking aisle. Usually a polite ‘excuse me’ does the trick but some people actively pick a fight upon hearing that phrase.

        Win-win situation. Either they step aside and apologize (only ever had this one happen), or they get rude and I get to unload all my pent up rage on some unsuspecting civilian without feeling bad about it. Like free therapy

        “Excuse me I just need to get by” has worked for me every time and also usually makes them realize they can move to one side and keep chatting.

        Jesus Christ some of you are way too angry about this theoretical situation that some of you have maybe experienced a handful of times at most. Are y’all unable to say “excuse me” and pass by people?

          You must have Shaq’s hands, because I’ve experienced this literally every time I’ve gone to a grocery store throughout my entire adult life.

          Get the fuck out of the way or someone less hinged than I am is going to move you.

        Walk around if you’re to shy to speak up, you socially handicapped looser. How can you live a single happy day if that’s already enough to ruin one for you?

      Who the fuck is talking about guns? This is just about people who can’t be bother to step to the side while having a discussion with their friends. I don’t care if you want to have a 20 minute chat in the isle at the super market, but be aware of your surroundings, don’t block the traffic and move to the side if you’re in front of something that another shopper needs.

        They absolutely can, you just have to say something like “sorry” or similar.
