Been shopping at a supermarket recently? I wonder if people drive their cars on public streets like they push their shopping carts through the supermarket?
First, they just wander around as if in a daze, apparently oblivious to other customers (and they get cranky if you run into them). If an aisle has a constriction, like a free-standing display, where do you think that people stop and make a phone call, or peruse the products on the display?
Did you know that the aisle at the local Meijer in front of the refrigerated coolers (where the milk is located) is exactly four shopping carts wide. How do I know? There were three carts parked side-by-side across the aisle while the shoppers went off to gather something. There was room for one cart to get by in that aisle, when one shopper parked her cart in that one spot, thereby blocking the aisle completely. My wife prohibited me from commenting loudly about the idiocy of the situation.
The parents with lots of children who allow them to run around all over the store, picking things up and putting them down all over the place. Of course, the parents do it, too. How long do these people think that frozen foods will last in the canned goods aisle? And, who pays for the lost goods (no, it's not the store)?

Another fun one is when someone decides a staircase is a chair (despite having actual chairs not far away), and blocks half the stairs with one person, meaning if two people happen to be going in the opposite directions... well, someone sits and waits. It's minor, but so would getting their lazy rear up for a little longer. They'll just look instead, and then go back to their idiot conversation, or whatever it was they were doing.
