What is WRONG with people? It's 2022!

[EdaYildiz]

Over the past couple of weeks, ALOT of things when out and about has been getting on my last nerves, it's almost like people just think they walk the earth alone and are not considerate for anybody around them!

EVERYTIME I go to Tesco I can guarantee that at least one person will come and stand right in front of me when I am looking at something - literally plonk themselves right in front of me like I'm not there! I always make a point to stand so I'm not blocking the way for others to walk behind me but also that I've left enough space for others to grab and go from the shelf.

I was in Primark yesterday looking at some basic jumpers on the folded table and there was an ENTIRE table to walk around but no no, I'll let you guess where she came a stood.

I finished work yesterday and was walking down Oxford St with a friend and then BAM the women in front of me just stopped so obviously I went into the back of her and I hurt my nose because of the impact so I said to her "Yes please, just stop walking in the middle of the street".

Shopping Centers is another ache up my backside with people just stopping when they're walking.

I was in a different Primark recently and the women behind me was so close for the 20 minutes we were queuing that I was practically grinding her! Then when I was waiting for my turn to be called to a till, she overtook me and went to the till so I chased her and said excuse me a few times which she ignored!

Another time in Primark, a teenager walked up to the disabled tills bypassing the huge queue, paid and walked off laughing to her friend and saying "idiots looks at them all queuing" so it was clear she was faking it because then she was running around Primark playing tag with her group of friends and then booting it up the escalators on the wrong way racing her friends.

My lord, what is wrong with people? Does anybody find this happens to them too or does this just happen to me?

you literally said you'd push someone out of your way at the top of an escalator,

I said i would gently move them out of the way because it's dangerous. LITERALLY DANGEROUS to me, and all the people behind me.

And if i do it to "the wrong person" what? you think they'll punch me? That's a chance i take not to cause an accident at the top of an escalator.

Honestly, people, I've been on this planet for 60 years. I use words, I'm generally polite, but if someone stops dead at the top of an escalator what do you THINK i should do? let the people behind bump into us until we all fall into a pile? how do you all get through the day when you literally push past someone looking at a supermarket shelf in favour of "excuse me, I'm going to grab one of those"

@MzHz im mid 50s and although fit and active, it’s like everyone else is the walking dead. Meandering about, shuffling here and there. Randomly slowing their snail like pace to a halt or at first glance seemingly unconnected people randomly congregating and chatting in the main thoroughfare.

Yup, been there got the T-shirt.😬

I used to live in a county that (IMO) had more than it's fair share of yokels. I complained to a friend who lives in a different county. She told me "Don't get your hopes up Ewe we have them here as well".
"Nah" I said "It can't be that bad"
Then I moved her way and she's right, it's no different.

It doesn't matter if it's Aldi or Waitrose

Are these people that take 10mins chatting in the middle of the aisle about what biscuits to buy, practicing some kind of talking therapy?

Answers on a postcard please.

You shove people if you bump into them on the street?

Good luck trying that down here in south London

Are you actually saying that Tesco and Primark are chav places, as you so eloquently put it

I hate that word it's a derogatory and inflammatory description of a certain group of people who live in council accommodation.
Who are you to refer to people or categorise shops in this way??

@EdaYildiz I hear you. I could have written your post. It's a mixture of two things entitlement and the social media addicts on phones. People are becoming more selfish. It's a me me me society that's for sure.

I finished work yesterday and was walking down Oxford St with a friend and then BAM the women in front of me just stopped so obviously I went into the back of her and I hurt my nose because of the impact

Then clearly you were too close behind her.

Thats quite a good solution and I guess you could adjust the intensity of the cough depending on how near they are, spray it a bit.

Primark init

Yeah this poster is straight up rude, not “direct”. As is the person who says they elbow someone in the stomach if they get too close.

mind you, I think about 40% of what people say they would do is bullshit. So many people saying they’d do really ballsy things on all sorts of threads which I think are mostly crap and what they wish they would do, but in reality they’d just quietly scuttle past murmuring “sorry” if someone else gets in their way

I remember one post which said that if a parent was rude to their toddler in soft play they’d karate kick them in the face or something. Yeah of course you would.

Yeah this, about the pavements! I don’t step into the road, though. I walk straight towards the phalanx of twats. They usually make a space if they are looking around them. If they aren’t, because they are staring at phone screens, I stop and say, “is anyone else getting a go of the pavement today?”.

YANBU so many people in this planet care about nobody but themselves it drives me crazy 😜

Funnily enough so many older people have no manners and saying thank you or please is free ffs

You just have to look at all the tosspots on the school run who think they have a private parking space on the doorstep of the school and just park wherever they want. I love seeing the traffic wardens now 😡

You shove people if you bump into them on the street?

ffs. If they stop dead in front of me and we're in fast moving pedestrian traffic, yes i'll give them a bit of a shove so they start moving again.

I'm out. You're a bunch of wet lettuces who either have no idea how to behave (you all stop at the top of escalators or push past people at supermarkets without asking) or you let people do that to you and don't mention it.

whatever. [shrug]

Ha, too much Primark was my first thought too!

The fuck is wrong with you

You have no idea why that person stopped, you don't get to shove people

Keep it up though, you're bound to get socked in the face eventually

Do you think i hugely shove them to the ground or something? in winter they wouldn't even notice, it's more like a poke with my finger when i walk past.

As i said, I'm fine. I'm polite, but when the idiots at the top of the escalator stop, i'm not getting caught up in the pileup that can cause so i move them and carry on. Stop in front of me in a busy street which means someone bumps into me? yeah, i will make sure they notice. Maybe they won't do it again.

🤣what a fucking weirdo

Sorry OP but I can’t stop laughing at the image of you chasing after someone to get to a primark till saying excuse me 😂😂😂😂😂😂

You are not polite. You are exceptionally rude.

Totally fucking weird

Maybe stay out of busy cities if you can't handle the fact that people aren't robots and don't always walk perfectly

Shopping Centers is another ache up my backside with people just stopping when they're walking.

I make sure I kick these cunts when I 'bump' into them. assessments for disability taken first of course

People are so weird , they think they soo get served quicker if they get closer. I often ask people to give me space !

I’d sooner be a wet lettuce than a miserable woman who storms about the streets poking and shoving people.

Also @EdaYildiz I have to agree with people about Primark. I am NOT a clothes/fashion snob, and I buy often clothes/shoes etc from Peacocks, The Original Factory Shop, Tesco, Asda George, and a couple of charity shops.

Primark is DIRE. The stuff is made in sweatshops, by people on very low pay, and the quality is shite. It ends up in landfill SO much sooner than items from other better shops.

Haven't shopped in there in over a decade. I HATE the place.

Not you at all, post Covid the C8nt-ometer has gone off the scale in all social situations!

I think evolution is going into reverse. I am sure people could navigate crowds when I was young.

I live near a popular tourist attraction in London. You can guarantee on busy days, a tourist will go through the tube barrier machine and then stop dead. Leading to you having to risk being trapped in the barrier or shoving them out of the way to get out. Trying to get in is nearly as bad. I
barge through the group.

What is just as bad is a group waiting on the stair landing for their friends and blocking the whole staircase. I often walk to the next station to avoid this annoyingness.

Don’t get me started on the people blocking the stairs on the bus and wtf do school children stand either side of the bus double door so people getting off have a narrow passage to squeeze through.
