They won’t because I have a feeling his wife, daughter and mother all have more respect for the people around them to not think the world starts and stops by their convenience as they block doorways in which others are trying to traverse.

Why? Why even do this to a complete stranger in 2024?


Because he’s a pussy. Wouldn’t have said a word had it been a man.

”Please keep walking”

What’s wrong with a simple, “excuse me, mind if I get around you”?

Or maybe open the door for her so she’ll take a hint?

You sound impatient, so I’m going to say a moderate-sized a-hole.

That comeback at the end-- you said that in the mirror once you got back to your hotel room.

If you have to get somewhere, then you have to get somewhere. Still, given that it seems like you were able to get past her somehow, it seems like some variation of excuse me would have been better...
"Excuse me. I'm in a hurry."
"Pardon ne. I'd like to pass."

You could have passed her in similar fashion without any expectation of having to answer to her. And it would have been less brusque than telling her to "keep walking", which is impolite, even if you added "please" in front of it.

Similarly, in a grocery store, if someone is blocking you from grabbing something and for whatever reason you can't wait for them to move, it would be completely impolite to say, "Please move." At a minimum, you might say something more like, "Excuse me. I'm just grabbing a can of __", as you reach in front of them.

The rudeness specifically comes from bluntly telling someone what to do / giving them a command (walk, move, etc.). It is most polite to wait if possible, but at a minimum, you should announce your intention (sorry, comimg through) and do what you have to do without telling them what to do.

The woman's weight is incidental. Your choice of words matters regardless. If you would like to see people being more aware and better mannered in society, then understand all of our interactions matter. And we should all hold ourselves to a higher standard.

don’t block it because you’re in La La land staring at your phone.


Being the a-hole is not being considerate of others, walking, driving, during conference calls, etc. You're NTA at all. Far too many people, at least where I live, are totally unwilling to even give a toot on the horn, for anything, to try to get the driver to pay attention. Stand at the self checkout while texting, block the road waiting to turn in for shitty Chik Fil A, you do you boo, regardless of how it impacts anyone. You gotta scroll the 'gram, after all.

I'd revel in the feeling of helping out society at large. Maybe she won't stop in front of a commercial door in the next few weeks, and block the path of some poor migrant mother trying to buy diapers.

Fat people are immoral and a menace to society except for hydrocarbon production baws.

You are in the clear, I’m tired of these fat slobs oozing around.

Don't forget the people who hussle to the street corner to cross and then slow down to make you wait to turn.

Then there are the people that speed up when you put your signal on to get in their lane and then honk and flash their lights at you cause they think you cut them off when there was a 3 car gap when you put your blinker on.
