Why are people so IGNORANT? I'm on a rant here. But, this happens SO often. I walk into walmart. I walk in the "Enter" door. And, people exiting give me a look, like, "Why are you in my way?" Hello?! The sign says "Enter" and you're exiting. Get a clue! Unfortunately, it always seems to be a group of ignorant people doing it, seemingly, all the time. It is so annoying. Some people follow the courtesies of the signs. But, others chose to be ignorant and, so to speak, "ruin", it for the people in the "right of way". Is it that difficult? I mean, really, come on! The doors aren't there just to walk in and out of as some people please. There's a specific order to things. ANd, it makes it a courtesy to others. For example, I teach (and I am speaking of the USA) my children to walk on the right. It seems like it is comprehendable. We drive on the right; we should walk on the right. That way, others can kind of expect how not to be in someone else's way. What do YOU think? And, please, what about "Exit" and "Enter" signs? Can people just be a little less ignorant and follow signs?

I work for Wal-mart and totally know what you mean. You should always keep to the right when walking just like driving. But as far as the signs go, some people don't know how to read. That is a huge problem in this country. Not only that, but the doors open from both ends. So why take a few extra steps over. Americans tend to be lazy like that.

Yeah, one time I was walking in w/my husband and brother in law. We were walking in the Entrance. And, like about 3 were walking out. They kinda gave us weird looks. I threw my hands up and said, in a "duh" tone, "ENTER??!" It's annoying. And, many are lazy and ignorant; they just don't care if they're in someone else's way because they're too lazy to walk a few steps to the correct door.

Oh yeah, I definitely hate it too. And, it's like, door openings, pathways, etc, are NOT best for conversating. Ummm..., people NEED to walk here! Excuse me for trying to walk through the "Enterance" when you're blocking it!"
