Default Today's Pet Peeve 20 Sept 09

When you are reading a poster or sign on a building and someone walks between you and what you are reading, then stops to read it as well, completely blocking your ability to read it.

OMG I am so there with you! This happens at museums too - when the only reason people are there in the first place is to LOOK at what's on the walls but nooooo - even then people are oblivious I've considered lugging a bag full of those movie prop breakaway vases for just this purpose <thwack>
