      It’s hilarious that you’re downvoted because asking them to move has never failed in my experience. Given I’m in the Midwest and there’s the whole “Midwestern sensibility” stereotype, but I don’t think anyone here is different from anywhere else.

      Most people who do this either don’t think about the fact they’re blocking the whole aisle or they don’t realize you want through. A simple excuse me will let them know

        Yes, in isolation this isn’t annoying. But it’s the constant, never ending lack of self awareness which adds up to it being annoying.

      Right, and you can just move the shopping cart some idiot left in the middle of the only parking space left too.

      Where I am we’d just say excuse me and they would move. However the point is that people are so in their own world they don’t think about others not being able to get by.
