I like to study cultures that are foreign to me. I find it interesting to see how different groups of people address societal issues.

I do have one instance where I would appreciate anyone who can explain what, to me, seems like an odd cultural trait.

What the hell are people talking about when they are yapping on their cell phones and blocking the aisles at the grocery store???

Honestly, it is getting harder and harder to just get the shopping done. What are these people talking about and why are they doing it in a grocery store that is already crowded and has narrow aisles.

Really, what is so important in their lives that they have to talk to someone and block the aisles???

(deep breathing)

Feeling better now, but I have to do the grocery shopping tomorrow and already the stress is building.

Yap all you want, but please consider the other people around you who need to get stuff done.
