The other night I came up to a intersection in the parking lot of a local shopping center. There was a couple walking past me with their cart of groceries and passed through the intersection where I was about to drive. They however, proceeded to take out their 2-3 bags of items and leave the shopping cart directly in my path! They turned around and walked BACK past me to their vehicle. They grinned as they walked past, pretending not to notice my calling out to them and politely and then angerly to move the cart. Its obvious that the whole reason they did this was to annoy me or whoever happended to be waiting at that intersection for them to cross. Do people who seem to go out of their way to anger, annoy you? This seems to be a growing issue I've noticed that just random people these days are doing things like this for no reason. Has it happend to you?

Ah yes...I refer to them as "pod people"! There has to be a subspecies of alien life form living amongst us because I refuse to believe that human beings have gotten this ignorant!!

That was downright rude! Too bad you were not blocking their exit. You could have turned off your car, went to get two or three shopping carts and place them behind their vehicle as they attempted to back out.
Better yet, you could have pretended your car could not start....

Aren't you glad those people in your story aren't your relatives or co-workers? I have been subjected to cruelty myself. The worst was times when people were rude in front of my child. One time we were driving in a mall parking lot. This man and his friends walked directly in front of me (I had stopped to let them pass) and he took his bag of boxes of shoes and slammed them down on the hood of my car and kept walking without even looking at me. I asked him what he did that for and he started screaming and cursing at me. I am convinced that there are a lot of people out there who need to be taking psychiatric medication who are not. He was one of them.

People nowdays are rude they dont have common sense or common courtesy either. It is annoying just remember they have issues bigger than yours and like drama. Dont cave into them. I piss them off by ignoring them or singing a retarted song real loud like they dont exist while I wait. Have humor....we cant change the world.

Sure but I take these times to thank God I am not like them. What misery their lives must be when annoying others gives them a thrill!

No! It's sad that some people are so ignorant or stupid that doing something like this makes them happy. Don't respond to them at all, that spoils most of thier fun.
