People going out the "ENTER" doors at stores and in the "EXIT" blocking the doors.

Or just standing in the aisles oblivious to everyone else.

On the other hand....ever go up to a door that says push and you pull or vice versa. Feels so...hope no one saw that.

Better late than never Alice! I've been looking ALL day for this. LOL

I've never had this problem....geeeshhh...you would think all the shopping I've done through the years, I would have happened upon some dipstick trying to get out while I'm going in. LOL Oh well!

Wow Alice was starting to worry. Glad you showed up gal.

The people who are exiting meet someone they know entering and proceed to visit!!!!!

I hate it when people stop in the aisles to socialize blocking the shelves and get made when you try to reach something they're blocking.

It's funny that I was just talking to Nomadicus about this last night. How true is this peeve... it's very annoying. What I hate more is when people leave their carts in the middle of the aisle virtually blocking people from getting through the aisle. One lady did this in Walmart, I was ticked. I took my cart and pushed it into hers, moving her cart out of the way. She looked at me like I was insane, but I didn't care.

The point of this story: rather it is the entrance door, exit door, or aisle: DON'T BLOCK IT AND DO WHAT THE SIGNS SAY!

If this is all that would peeve me off in a day, then I'd be having a remarkably good day. The carts blocking the aisleways, as Suncoast Guy just mentioned, is much worse (amazing how oblivious people are while they're shopping. . . it's almost scary).

But I haven't noticed this so much as the push-pull annoyance with public doors. At work I even applied a "PULL" label on the door. I attribute that to inconsistency, though. Some doors push, others pull. Our office door is pulled to enter, but the one to our corner market pushes, so I tend to try and pull that one out of habit.

Funny, I was just speaking to Nomadicus and Suncoast about this subject last night. Nomadicus did not yield and Suncoast ran over three or four people blocking an Isle. Some cannot read English and some cannot comprehend flow patterns!!

But ALICE..., they're only going one way...! (Sorry, I couldn't resist)

I gotta tell on myself; Stationed in Germany as a MUCH younger man, I was waiting for a subway car in Frankfurt, Germany. When the car stopped in front of me, I started forward to get on without waiting for the exiting passengers to get off. A rather good-looking young German woman held out her fist and gave me a good "whack!" to make me wait. What a surprise (and well-deserved, it was...)
