In the overall scheme of things, the pet peeve I want to discuss today probably won't rock anyone's world, but it just seems to be more prevalent (at least, to me)--and there is ABSOLUTELY no need for it at all! The consensus is that people are getting more and more selfish these days, and I believe that this particular action is a case in point.

I've seen this pet peeve in action (having been on the receiving end) at churches, grocery stores, retail stores, sports arenas and stadiums, business meetings--anywhere there are aisles, hallways, or doorways. And the offending ones are clueless that they are causing a problem!
If there is anyone left on this planet who has never encountered what am I talking about--ta da--here goes: people blocking doorways, hallways, and aisles by just standing in the way to talk to someone else! Yes, that's right; preventing others from getting to where they need to go, then acting offended when someone says "Excuse me," when attempting to get past the clueless individual(s).
I don't understand why anyone would stand in a doorway/hallway/aisle to talk before/after any of the places mentioned above, anyway. DIDN'T YOU KNOW YOU WERE IN THE WAY, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE? Did you not see the door frame you were standing under? Did you not have a clue that you were in an aisle or hallway too narrow for anyone else besides you and your cronies to pass by you??
Well, WHY NOT?
Okay--rant over. But I'd love to hear what readers out there have to say concerning this annoying problem.
