Look around, please!

I spent part of my weekend at Chuck E. Cheese for my daughter's birthday party. Being the people watcher I am I noticed that some people are just oblivious to others. It's not that they don't care about other people they just seem to be in a world of their own and don't notice. As I sat there watching parents ignore the world as their child caused chaos for everyone else I thought of other ways people seem to be oblivious.

If your child is going up a slide from the bottom, he's in the way, move him. There are ten kids up top who were taught not to slide when someones at the bottom and not to go up from the bottom.

If your child is at my table grabbing things off of it, stop them. I am to busy watching my children to discipline yours.

If you are in the middle of a supermarket aisle and there is not enough room to get by, move to one side or the other. I am not resting, I want to get by.

If you are driving and you come to a red light and there are two lanes and your going straight get in the left lane so everyone else can turn right.

If you are in the right lane and a car behind you can turn if you pull up two more inches, pull up. You will know someone wants to turn because they will be one inch from your right side bumper.

If you see a line of people at a register and you need to 'just ask a question' don't go to the front of the line and make the rest of us wait. Ten people did it before you and I'm still in line waiting to ask a question as well.

Don't ask me if you can go to the front of the line because you only have one item then when I let you ask for some ridiculous service that requires the cashier to get help.

If I'm backing out of a parking spot you want give me enough room to back up.

20 items or less is meant for you too, learn to count, they didn't leave a register open just for you.

If you are walking with a group of people, you can't always walk side by side, even if you are all skinny.

If the waitress is at my table don't call her away to your table because you need something, that's what she's doing at my table.

Being late because you had something to handle first means I wasted time when I could of handled things too. I also have a life.

Ringing phones do not have to be answered, that's why they have voice mail.

People should be aware of their surroundings and realize that the world wasn't made for them alone. That a failure to be responsible is usually an inconvenience for somebody else.
