Ask yourself this question.
If you are driving your car on the highway, have you ever stopped in the middle of the road, gotten out of your car, and started having a conversation with some person on the other side of the road?
I figure that's a no for pretty much everyone. Why?
Because that would be very stupid and dangerous to yourself, and everyone around you.
So knowing this, why is it people act the same way when walking or in an office?
I was heading from my office to the restroom (brushing my teeth), when I saw this man and woman standing right in in the walkway. They were having a conversation, and people were having to walk around them - including myself. There was plenty of room off to the side and hey, even a bench to sit on! Maybe it's just me, but if you are going to have a conversation with someone in an office, go to a lounge, conference room, or even one's own office ...
But no. Not these two.
They were still standing bloviating about some banality, even when I was heading back to my office.
Are people really that dense or self-absorbed? Maybe it's both?
It's times like this I wish I had a camera on my cell phone. Though I'm not sure the legality of posting pictures of stupidity (maybe I can blur the faces, but that would defeat the point).
It should hurt when people do stupid things. Perhaps then, they'll think twice about doing it again.
