seriously, some of these people are scaring me. Jesus, what if I can't hear you? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:09 32
- "aware of your surroundings" does not only employ hearing - con_carne Jun 11, 14:11
- wasn't this one of those point in that email about "being an adult" that got posted a week or so ago? - Reagen Jun 11, 14:11 14
  - oh, relax. I'm a city chick. I'm very aware, and I don't block aisles knowingly. That doesn't give you free rein to attack me if I can't hear uyou. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:13 7
    - If you thought there might be an insane axe murderer behind you, you'd look. Why not just do that for everyone out of common courtesy? -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 14:16 1
      - because then people might think she's an axe murderer -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:17
    - If you stay aware and don't block the aisle, there'll be nothing to hear. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 14:15
    - I don't think the not hearing is what's offensive here, so much as the utter and complete obliviousness demonstrated... -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 14:14 3
      - and the "being annoyed at being asked to move". This is one particular person - most people are more polite -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:16 1
        
        That too. -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 14:18
      - I get that. I get annoyed at it too. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:15
  - Exactly! Who posted that? I'd like to go back and mark that as a Favorite -- nm - Stephen Jun 11, 14:12 5
    - what's a favorite? -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 11, 14:14 4
      - Oh, i'm sorry, a FavoUrite (nm) - Stephen Jun 11, 14:15 2
        
        (centimetre by centimetre we will assimilate you.) - Andie Jun 11, 14:16 1
        
        Wait. Do you guys really transpose the "er" at the end of "centimeter"? - musubi Jun 11, 14:20
      - It's like a "favourite", but not yet implemented as a feature on Slackertalk. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:15
- What, are you blind too? - Stephen Jun 11, 14:10 15
  - you seemed mostly pissed that she couldn't hear you. it's a possibility. you never know what's going on with someone else. it's not always about you. - kare Jun 11, 14:15 5
    - Uh, it was about him and the other people that were blocked. By one person. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 14:17 2
      - fine, she's a bitch that deserves to die. -- nm - kare Jun 11, 14:18 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 14:19
    - well put. but this is, after all, a drill sergeant we're talking about. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:17
    - that's my issue. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:16
  - this is why everyone should take up smoking. for example redmond would be able to smell you coming up behind him and move out of the way - dogbert183 Jun 11, 14:15
  - I can't see behind me. And I'm very conscientious about blocking the aisle. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:13 3
    - So why worry if you can't hear? (nm) - musubi Jun 11, 14:14 1
      - i'm not worried about my actions. I'm a little worried that someone would get this mad and not even consider the hearing thing. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:18
    - Perhaps it's just that my senses are heightened thanks to my Ninja training... - Stephen Jun 11, 14:14
  - It all goes back to your original post. - Spawn Jun 11, 14:12
  - I agree even if I am the only person on the aisle I move my cart to the same side I am shopping on. -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 11, 14:12
  - I'm pretty sure loosi is conscientious enough not to block the aisle in most stores - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:11 1
    - I never stand in the middle of an aisle. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:14
