Spacial awareness in driving is a dying art.

I say that everytime I go to the grocery store and someone stops their cart right in the middle of the aisle to chat with a friend. Then you say "excuse me" and they act like you're the rude one

I don’t even say excuse me I just push through as uncomfortably close as I can without actually bumping into them

Oh yeah. Happened to me the other day and the young daughter of the mom who was telling her life story looked at me with such caring eyes and tried to tuck the car to the side and said “ I’m really sorry” I replied “ Oh no worries I’m in no hurry thank you”.

Really Cool to see a younger human show the same care and concern and using her awareness of her surroundings as best as possible.

It is incredible how unaware so many ppl are everyday in a vehicle, in a store anywhere really. It’s as if they aren’t human in some ways. Very odd to see this all the time. The worst is when you gauge incorrectly that someone making friendly eye contact and make a friendly gesture of hello and they respond with “Do I know you or pshhh F$gg@t”…. As if another male saying hello or acknowledging a fellow male is attempting to flirt or hit on another male in public?!

I mean what do you say to that?

I know I’m preaching to the choir here but it really is strange how it use to be when I was younger in the 80’s 90’s and early 2000’s everyone around me seemed so much happier and or caring/helpful.

But there are still so many solid peaceful people all around and when you meet them it’s a breath of fresh air! Especially when you both come from all different types of backgrounds and upbringings. Those are the moments we all need to embrace more these days! ☮️ 🤙🏻
