The wall-to-wallers: normally younger, a group of oblivious people who come to the mall to talk to each other and mosey and apparently nothing else. There's always at least 5 of them and they walk in a line, spreading the entire width of their side of the hallway, preventing you from passing them from behind until you just force your way through. They aren't any better when they see you coming. They just keep walking, expecting you to move out of their way.
The mall royalty: normally older, these are the ones who hog an entire section of the clothing rack, dvd shelf, hand soap section etc. taking forever and ever to decide what they want when all you need is to grab the one thing you knew you wanted from the start but they won't get out of the way. You only realize they are the royalty when, after politely saying excuse me to get to your product, they not only do not apologize for being in your way, but they glare at you, clearly insulted that you have encroached on their right to do whatever they want wherever they want without being questioned.
The wrecking ball: The person who isn't averse to entering other peoples' personal space. There is a straight line between where he is and where he is going and god dammit, he's going to follow it. If you get in the way, prepare to experience the shoulder bump.
The unattended: A child, normally a boy, normally around 3, who suddenly is underfoot and preventing you from moving in any direction because every time you start, they are right there again seemingly intent on getting hurt by you so you can look like a jerk in front of everyone. The unattended isn't actually at fault here, its the absent attendee that you are always looking for at this point that deserves your ire.
BO Bob: The guy that didn't shower and is fine with that. Fittingly, you don't run into him at places like bath and body works.
The orator: The girl in the clothing store who wants to let everyone know what a biatch Kyra is and how she stole Tasha's boyfriend. If I wanted to hear that, I'd watch 90210.
Haggling Hannah: The person that is inevitably right in front of you in line when you picked the shorter line thinking you'd get through faster. How could you be so naive? She likes to insist that she picked the 20 dollar sweater off the sale rack. |
Wal-Mart Wilmas
Screw you all, this is my land: Parks the shopping cart on the opposite shelf they are shopping in thus blocking the entire aisle.
Sample Sally: opens the bag of Oreo's and has the kids eat them before they hit the check out line.
Tubby Chubby: Buffalo azz rides the electric shopper like it was his own demolition derby car and any thing in front of him is his to whack.
Hit Man Harry: Senior citizen dude with a few noticible "moves" ( may be nervous tics) sitting on the bench by the Greeter babes, casting his spell and one-eyeing (the one without the cataract) up those "hot" 75 year old "chicks" coming in the door.[/b] |
