Why

don't people know how to operate two simple systems - the grocery store & the bus. I think I might write manuals and pass them out for FREE. Here are some key highlights -

Grocery Store
-Do not stare at your cell phone and navigate the aisles. You WILL walk into someone, their cart, or hold up the aisle
-Don't have a family meeting on what type of crackers to buy across the aisle. Everyone move to the same side
-Don't put different fruits & vegetables in the same bag. They all have different codes. The cashier WILL rip open your bag to see each number.


The Bus
-If you plan on standing back to back, someone WILL have to move to let people behind us out. Don't pretend like you don't realize this.

-If there is room, move back. Again, do not pretend like you do not see the empty space.

-Understand there are a lot of people on the bus. If it is packed & your stop is coming up, plan early on how to get up & off. Don't push and rush when you're at your stop.

I could go on & on.

I will help you write a book on the bus and the store. It seems it should be common sense but obviously people are lacking it.
The same goes for elevators - when it opens, there's a 50% chance someone will be exiting so don't rush onto the elevator as soon as the door opens.
Or the stairs - walk down one side of the stairs leaving the other side open for people walking the opposite direction. It baffles me when walking on the stairs. Someone sees me, we make eye contact, yet they continue to walk right down the middle of the stairwell. Why???
