The people in question were probably not planning on having a conversation. So when they meet someone in a high-traffic area, they stop there to have a short conversation. Before they know it, it turns into a longer conversation. Everyone does it; everyone's guilty of this offense. Besides, life and people are messy- if no one ever did anything on the spur of the moment, life would be very boring. Still, that's just my opinion.

LMAO, for the same reasons, people will ALWAYS try to talk to you while you are on your phone. This type of people will go as far as using your personal items without asking, cough in your face, take a drink for yours and laugh when you fall down... WHERE do these people come from, cause in my family I would have been bowled over for standing in a doorway, smacked in the mouth for coughing in someone's face, I would have NEVER drank from someone else's drink, would have been grounded to ONLY using that item I hadn't asked to use... (Yes the hairbrush was my only form of entertainment...) and I would have been laughed at 500 times worse when I fell down.
THIS is what is wrong with the world today, no one cares about anyone else anymore. And with parents getting younger by the day, the children know nothing about raising a child, so they grow up to become door block conversationalists...

Not only doesn't it seem that way....
it is!
People are just not in tune with manners or etiquette anymore.
I was actually driving down our little road today and stopped behind 2 people chatting from the front seats of their cars.
They knew that I was there (the driver of the oncoming car saw me) and continued to chat. After about 2 very long minutes, I tooted my horn a couple of times (and smiled a friendly smile). DO you know that they both flipped me off and continued to sit and talk.
Well, I got out the ole cell phone and began to dial...they must have thought that I was calling the cops, because they quickly disbanded.
PEOPLE! UGH!

They wanted a quicker question-and-answer motion. Deciding where they should commence their conversation is time-consuming... every second counts. Or either of them thinks that if they pause for a moment, the other person may leave. Yeah... it mostly involves time.
Unless if you're referring to a group of people standing by, for example, the stairs talking about nothing at all, then it's rather their intention to annoy other people.

Because they do. Almost everytime I go to the local grocery store there is a woman blocking the parking lot talking to her friend with the cart, like everyone just wants to sit there and wait for them to catch up on the latest Soccer Mom gossip. HONK!!

Because they get so caught up in themselves and have separation anxiety and can't let the other person leave or the other person doesn't want to leave. It's basically that they have no sense of anything outside themselves to know that they're blocking the door.

Because they are preoccupied, and not thinking where they are.
Also, they get good reception, and prob work in the building they are standing by. All in all cell phone usage is like public masterbation. I think i'd almost rpefer seeing someone wack-off
in front if me for 5 minutes, rather than hearing him/her talk inanely for 30 minutes....

they probably feel that people will pay more attention to them if they talk in that situation. if more people see them and don't hear what is being said they will ask those people later. or they don't even realize that they are in the way because they are to interested in what they are talking about.
