It is not that I am perfect and sometimes I will do something which someone else will consider rude. Having said that when I am looking at something on a shelf such as in a video store I would expect someone who walks in front of me to excuse themselves. Now even though I do not like when this happens once in a while, I really get pissed when it happens multiple times within a few minutes and even more rude when it is the same person.

I was in the local video store looking for something to rent and as I was looking intently at the selections available a rather large woman walked between me and the shelf. I figured maybe she did not notice me as she was talking loudly to someone behind me, so I let it go and continued looking only to have her again walk in front of me about 2 minutes later. At this point I looked around to see where I was standing and there was more space behind me then their was between me and the shelf in front of me. This made me a little bit perturbed so I decided to take a step forward and continued to look. As I was reading the back of a DVD box I was not paying attention to my surroundings and all of a sudden I get nudged aside by this same woman as she is looking at the same shelf I was looking at and she very rudely tells her companion that I must have gotten the last copy of Over the Hedge. I said pardon me in a very sarcastic manner, shook my head and walked away.

Since I had found something I went to counter two things occurred to me, anyone who knows me knows I am not that small so when you walk in front or bump into me you must either be blind or just cannot walk and think at the same time. The other thing which gave me a chuckle is I did get the last copy of Under the Hedge.
