Standing at the tops of escalators, blocking doorways, crawling along in the middle of the pavement so you can't walk past, painfully trying to work out how to operate ticket machines at rush hour, taking five minutes at the cash machine in lunch hour...

Some people are so wrapped up in "their world"..nobody else exsists.And if you say anything you get looked at like youve just jumped off a spaceship and have 10 eyes,4 arms and 6 legs...there are some rude,arrogant,dozy people around...Everyone should follow the one step to the left rule,and have a bit more courtesy for others...

And walking towards you 2 people side-by-side on a payment that is only wide enough for 2 and forcing you on the busy road - ignorant people.
The worst is blocking your way in a supermarket. It's only you and them in the effing place and they still manage to force you to ask if you can get past. I'm with you mate, it's pour ignorance.
Good call.

People are generally ignorant of others around them. Sometimes it's genuine oblivion to what's around them sometimes it's pig ignorance. The best tactic is to be really over polite and say 'excuse me please, could I get by?' as they can't turn around and give you a mouthful. If they can't operate the ticket machine, offer to show them how it works. The cashpoint one is a frustration. I don't know the answer to this one yet and do tend to sigh loudly and look at my watch. You can't win em all!

Where's the fire? Really, if you're that hurried all the time, maybe you need to leave a few minutes earlier so you won't be late. :) Take time to stop and smell the roses--not fidget and grumble under your breath and wonder why the woman in front of you who is doing it is blocking half the sidewalk.

people are more ignorant and out for themselves than they used to be. i worked in sainsburys a few years ago and people used to move out the way for staff!! fat chance of that happening today. i think people are so independent theyve become selfish about it. it is very annoying when people take up a whole pavement width or just inconsiderately obstruct doors etc!!

This really annoys me too! Especially when they are walking slow or suddenly stop in the middle of the pavement!!!
It's as if they do it on purpose!!

And why don't old people get off the bus last? They take so long to get off. They also never have the money ready at the supermarket

atms are so annoying cos you have to wait ages and then you always have someone over your shoulder watching your every move and most people are too rude to move out of the way so they block everywhere up
