i know it sounds stupid, but dont tell me youve never been walking in a crowd stuck behind some prick who wont get the fuck out of your way. i go to UCLA so i have to swim through swarms of people to class, and it amazes me how some huge groups of friends will walk shoulder to shoulder, as if they were purposefully trying to prevent you from getting by! i'm sick of this crap, if you're slow get the hell to the side and let everyone else get by! or what about those people who come straight at you when they walk toward you, expecting you to get out of their way? i HATE that, and usually throw them a little shoulder check for good measure. the worst though has to be the people that walk uncomfortable close to you like theyre gonna try and grab a handful of ass or something. learn how to walk or lose your legs and crawl you bastards! maybe then i can get in a good kick to your heads!

LMAO! i so know that feeling. this one time i was walking right towards this girl but i didn't notice, i was looking down. and when i looked up she was like 2 feet in front of me. so i said, "oh excuse me" trying to pretend to be polite, and the bitch stops.... just stops right in front of me with this deer in the headlights look. i waited for her to move.....waited.... waited..... until i was like, "excuse me means move" and i breezed right by her. stupid bitch. i fucking HATE IT when people walk all slow talking on their fuckng phones. or when they just walk slow for no reason. they should have a slow walking lane for all those dumbasses.

oh yeah... I do soooo hate that. Kinda like when you are in the mall, walking down the right side, and all of a sudden you got this group of kids walking towards you, side by side, on the wrong side!:mad: :mad:

The slow people don't bother me as much as the people who just stop dead in the middle of the sidewalk/aisle. It seems like especially if it's a group or if they stop to talk to somebody else they think they can just plant themselves right in everyone else's way. At least make an effort to move to the side, you know?

totally. i think it pisses me off royally when i'm driving and idiots at school cross the street verrrrrrrry slooooooowly because they're talking on their cel phone. its like get OUT of the fucking way. or just when people cross the street anywhere. DAMN that pisses me off. like when people come out form in between cars. i almost hit someone like that. i mean, jesus christ, you can't walk two more yards to the nearest crosswalk? fucking lazy bastards, i swear. and people SUCK when big groups of them take up the whole damn walkway. i just walk right in between them.

haha, funny story, scott. i bet they hated your GUTS at the time, though: "stupid kid, doesn't know where's he's going" :p

A while ago I was walking around school, from class to class or something, and a couple of girls were standing around talking. One of them was in the middle of the stairs, and didn't leave enough room for me to walk through. I didn't want to interrupt their important conversation, so I walked through and bumped her. She yelled, "Excuuuse Mee!" I replied, "Your excused."

Hmmmm. Sounds like something your dad would say. Why don't you tell everyone about your pops, something along the lines of "Don't you hate it when you go paintballing with your friends, and your dad caps all of them?" or possibly "don't you hate it when a friend comes over late at night to say hi, and your dad pulls a gun on him?" Something along those lines. Hehe.

In large crowds when someone won't get out of my way I have been known to do the following:

Me: Excuse me.
(nothing)
Me: (a little louder) Excuse me!
(still nothing)
Me: (leaning over closer to the rude person's ear) "Excuse me" is the polite way of saying, "MOVE!!!"

:D

They usually get out of the way after that... ;)

Ribbit!

My favorite is the ones who stop in the middle of an accessway to talk, such as a door or the beginning of and aisle at a store. Can't tell you how many times I've headed to the breakroom for lunch to find the door obstructed by some vapor-locked brain donor that is just standing in the doorway talking to someone in the hallway 4 feet from them. It's a huge hallway. You could have 4 lanes of pedestrian traffic moving and still have room to stand to one side and talk, but no- they have to stop in the doorway. There's not even anyone around so it's not like they got crowded into the door. They're just oblivious.

When someone doesn't catch on to the polite versions of 'Please move before I must hurt you' I usually have to resort to 'Excuse me, you're blocking the way...' and when I pass them I mutter aloud Oh wow, man! There’s other people in the world besides me…whadya know?'

Oh i hate in the dinning hall when the fuckers stand in the choke points talking and I have to push through em all rude like. That and when they take forever dishing up their enchiladas like they are slow motion. Or sometimes with the real nerd monsters they zone out staring at the green beans, and it backs up the whole line while Im starving.
