Publix tends to be a nightmare due to people parking their carts on one side of an aisle and standing on the opposite site in front of whatever section they are perusing. Today at the Pinellas WD I was thinking how nice the wide aisles are and how this pet peeve was not a problem there. No sooner than I thought that I turned the corner and get stopped by a couple doing what I had just thought of as improbable. The woman had parked her cart in the middle of the aisle and was standing to the left of the cart, bent over looking at cans. Her husband was standing to the right of the cart watching her. I stood there for a few seconds when Mr Oblivious notices me and steps out of the way. As soon as I pass, Mrs Oblivious grabs her cart and passes me in a huff. Simple courteously in a store or on a sidewalk was instilled in me by my father at an early age but it is something that escapes some of our fellow citizens.

Your father instilled in you what we call common sense. You're not born with it, needs to be taught.
