Sounds familiar?

You are travelling along nicely, you can see your exit ahead, when all of a sudden your route is blocked. You move over to the right, but you are blocked again. Finally, frustrated, you move over again to find the person who pushed in front of you is going far slower than everyone else.

People are yacking on mobiles, not paying any attention to or indeed caring about what is going on behind them..they are oblivious.

But this isn't a motorway, its a supermarket aisle....

You sound like someone I knew who was never involved in any car accidents, but saw plenty in her rear view mirror

Had a bomb scare in our local ASDA about 2 years ago, a hoax apparently.
What did people do?
First they began walking along the central aisle looking up the rows to see if they could spot the bomb.
Next, after getting virtually man handled out by the security and shop staff they stand in the glass covered foyer trying to look back in to see what was happening!

FFS! It was a bomb alert!
If its real and you stand there looking there is a VERY GOOD CHANCE you will be KILLED!

It was a mixture of men and women with kids!
The result of this was that those of us who had the common sense/fear to get as far away as possible were actually hindered.

That's after the blast.

Thankfully it was a hoax, dread to think of the carnage if it had been real.
