Wish i was in a Ramen Shop Counter
Arrgh, sitting here in a train station because i missed it. I would've ran for it if only people walking in the opposite direction actually look up when they walk. Why do they insist staring at the floor and only see me and move when i literally physically bumped into them. This is while i sticked to the wall when walking too and mostly girls that keep looking at the floor. Damnit. 35 mins wait still
 
No idea - does my tree in too.

Although it's the opposite in my town, Chester - they are all tourists walking the streets at a snails pace cameras pointed up at architechure.

Argh, same thing this morning , except for me its getting off the train - it seems people just try and shove onto the train while others are trying to get off, it not like it gets them anywhere any quicker.

They quite literally get violent and agressive trying to push their way into the train.
 
I hate people who decide to start having conversations in the middle of the most conjestive pavement/street, although it must be Jersey people, whever I travel I don't have this problem.

I mean, do they really just stop, blocking everyone else so they have to squeeze through, Mother's with prams are worse, side on next to each other cackling away like witches. (You. Yes, you. Move the pram, to the side stupid.)

Or people who are walking next to each other side by side taking up the whole pavement and they expect you to just move out of the way/walk onto the road..
Quite a few times i've had to stop as they didn't move, they look at you with complete awe and confusion.

Shows how many people have really bad perception/spacial awareness and really don't give a flying coocoo's nest about anyone else.

I visit london often, don't have so much problem but there's a few times people insist on getting on the tube before you get off, what!!?
>_<

/rant of the day!
 
They are all miserable, their minds elsewhere, foolishly chasing the carrot that society dangles, but they know in their heart it can never furfill them.

Or it could be something else.
 
These very same people also seem to attend my local Asda. They slowly wander aimlessly around in the aisles with their trolly, and then just stop in the middle for no reason, or to have a chat with another aimless person and talk about aimless things. :mad:

I'll push people out the way to get off the train these days if they try to get on whilst i'm getting out. It's incredibly discourteous, especially when there's a man over the loudspeaker saying "Please allow people off the train before attempting to board" and a big sign telling them the same.

Second that.

People in Chester walk so slow i find it physically hard to walk as slow as they do.
 
I was on holiday in San Francisco and for some reason the Chinese population are masters at blocking the the pavement to chat. The best one was when a group of about 5 stopped for a chat at the top of a moving escalator! :D

/rant on

I do this with shopping trollies if i see a mate in the shop I couldn't care less about who I block either. I look at it as getting my own back on people who have done it to me before. Like beating me to the checkout with their laden trolley when they see I only have 5-6 items :( then huffing and puffing if I ask to go before them :eek:

/rant over

For people looking at the pavement you get it here in Belgium because if you don't look at the pavement you are 99% liable to walk in doggy doo. Railway stations are no exception
 
American tourists are by far the worse offenders around here. Quite often you see a large gaggle of over 50's wearing plaid-shorts and bumbags blocking the pavement.
 
There was a fat woman with a pram and a relative talking in the doorway at the local supermarket, said to her "Do you mind not blocking the doorway" and she replied "you could have said "excuse me"

No- as she won't learn not to stand where she blocks other people.

I've sometimes wondered whether people react to you because of the way you look... also, you communicate your attitude to people constantly. Are you the "don't **** with me" type, or the "I'd be terribly inconvenienced if you didn't get out of my way, and if you remained in place I'd be awfully frustrated" type
