Is it the shift to an alternate reality...??What really winds me up is people who insist upon stopping dead once they've gone through a door. Usually happens when entering or exiting a shop. No matter how busy the location or how many people are in the stream behind them, some people seem genetically programmed to cross a threshold and stop dead - usually two or three abreast if they are together - and gaze around in disbelief as their underachieving minute brains slowly comprehend that they have change location from OUTSIDE to INSIDE or vice versa. Everyone behind them screeches to a halt and has to wait because there is no room to squeeze past their fat skipant clad arses. Bunch of twoccing punts every one of them.
God how I hate thick, common people.

My girlfriendand her family are the same. They all come over from Germany and meet us for sections of our travels for a couple of weeks at a time occasionally, and are not very good at making decisions. They will stop just inside or outside of doorways, they middle of supermarket isles and sometimes even on the road and have a big pow-wow about what sized bottles of water we should buy! Its as if the world momentarily does not exist. And the looks I get when I point out the people waiting for them to move their pasty asses! They are lucky they are generally such nice people, or I would shit in their milk.

Its not just common people!This really bugs me too, but I find it's mostly snooty looking middle aged women that are the worst! Also, top of escalators!

It's partly deliberate...The 'sales psychologists' who tell Supermarkets to move their stuff around every so often to force you to look at everything again have also decided that you can be in a 'travelling mode' and a 'shopping mode' and they lay out the shop to make you slow down or stop near the entrance, so your brain has time to switch mode.
That's why big supermarkets often have that bloody annoying layer of gates to go through just inside the door now - there's no extra security or anything given by them, it just creates a bottleneck that slows you down ON PURPOSE.
