You are, by definition, in a place where many other people are in a giant fucking hurry. Come on. We live in a society, dickhead.

They saw me approach but didn’t make space.

Me “excuse me! “
.
Nothing
.
“Me: This is so that people can move faster, not so they can just stand there!”
.

.
Them: apoplexy! But they let me past 👍

It's guaranteed you will make the life of the person behind you miserable. Why would they even make a system where you are invited to increase your own comfort by depriving your neighbor of it?

As long as you leave enough space for getting past you, does it really matter if it's left or right? 👀

🤭 Why are they in an airport and not in a hurry? Is it the pilot?
