How often do you say, "Excuse me," when somebody is blocking your way?

I guess I said it most of the time. Well what can we said to person that block our way beside excuse me and it is the most polite way I think. Most of the times a when shopping during weekend, the supermarket will be very congested and even without realizing it we might bump into other person accidenttally. And that is the only time I said excuse me or I'm sorry after I bump out into somebody. And there also a time even when we said excuse me, the person pretend that they are deaf and keep on standing in our way looking for the item on the self. And if that was the case and I get annoy after request being excuse for many time, I will surely on purpose bump that person and I would not even said I'm sorry or excuse me. It is not my fault. he ask to be bump by me.

"Excuse me" is generally the phrase you use as you're brushing past someone ... like the Vikings used the phrase 'Vi King' ('I am King') to explain why they were slaughtering each enemy that stood in their path to the throne . So I say 'excuse me' while I am brushing-past/colliding-with/squishing/running-over someone, as many times as I can during the runover/squish/collision/brush

I always try and say excuse me but on the rare occasion i am in a hurry and do knock against someone i will say sorry i get so cross as many people act as if they rule the pavement but i think they are ignorant.

Hi sweetcatastrophe! You're right! There are times that there are people who just push you or bump you when they are in a hurry or they wanted to get in the way first. What's more worst is that, they do not know how to say "I'm sorry" when they hit you. This really annoys me. That is why, I always make it to a point to say "Excuse me" whenever I want to pass first. As the saying goes, "do not unto others which you don't want others to do unto you". What also disappoints me is that there are children who don't even know how to say "Excuse me". Which I think that parents should also teach there children these simple manners that they can use throughout their existence.

I do it all the time but I do really sorry that I am used to saying this.I don't think I should feel uncomfortable and excusing myself because somebody else is staying or sitting somewhere he shouldn't. Unfortunately usually when I am on the other side I don't hear the polite "excuse me" but just an elbow poke..

Saying "Excuse me" is a polite way of telling someone to give you a chance to move in an area that a person is blocking either with his body or an object. It is good to always say it to the person and be patience enough to wait for the person to allow you. It is rude for you to push your way through. However, this rules is sometimes applied different depending on the culture you come from. In Africa, for example it is considered rude for you to tell an elderly man or woman "Excuse me " But if it is your peer group you can ask them to excuse you. But a old man or an old women in Africa will see it as lack of manner. An African elderly expects you to wait patiently before passing and not to use the language "excuse me"

Oh yeah, that is the way. I think I say "Excuse Me" many many times throughout the day, while walking through the office, through the restaurant, through the mark mall, and so on. In fact, that is one of the expressions people use most often in the day-to-day activities. The other word may be "Hello" !

I will say "excuse me" quite often...though there have been times, when people are deliberately blocking my view. It's like they are trying to get a reaction out of me. I will often stand back and look at items in the store...and people will walk right up and deliberately block my view..you know they are because they stand there several minutes...just waiting...But most often, I say "excuse me." because most people are not that rude...just the ones that want to be.

I always try to say excuse me when someone is blocking my way. It is the polite way to let someone know that they need to move. Anything else is just being rude and obnoxious where there is no need to be that way.

Well not many people bother saying it anymore so sometimes I don't really feel in the mood because i don't feel like talking, but I do say it when ever I can.It just that everybody is pretty much rude now a days. Not very fun, but I guess if one is nice it makes them look bad.

"Excuse You!", if a girl like you will bump me everyday, then it's okay! Well, it is the proper way! But then if I am in a hurry, I also bump people without saying the words. But to avoid things like these, as much as possible, I avoid being in a hurry. I am just in a hurry when I am driving a car. and cars don't horn "excuse me". Good day gorgeous!

I do not believe I have ever been too much in a hurry to say excuse me, at least not intentionally that is. I do understand as it happens so often that I may be at the grocery store and someone sort of pushes me out the way to get through, my first reaction is to say firmly sure your are excused and the person will look back, some will apologize and I simply say it is okay, but then you have others who immediately look at you as if you were the one who bumped them.

excuse me is a very polite thing to say, no matter how much in a rush you are in. it's nice to people. i say excuse me so much! every day i say it at least 5 times! i can understand if people are having a bad day/are tired of saying excuse me, they might just try to pass a person without even saying excuse me.

I always try to say excuse me though most of the time people would rather you just try and squeeze around them so as not to inconvenience there day. It's really sad the way our society is these days, as if the common courtesy has been thrown out the window.

i always say it and say please and thank you (well at least i try) and have taught my daughters to do the same.

When in that sort of situation, I always do say it. It's being polite. It's just something that I've been taught to do, ever since I was a kid. Now, it's just a habit. I feel that it's the right thing to do.

yes i think that is true everyone should try to be more considerate in there every day life even in the little things.. im working on not telling even lil white lies like when someone ask does my hair look bad i ask my mom that and she will not tell me the truth and it urkes me.. id rather she say will it looks ok but would look better put up or let down or you missed a spot.. rahter then letting me go around looking bad.. lil things count too... what do you think ????

Believe it or not, this is something that I;ll never forget to do. I don't know but I am so use to it that I will always say excuse me whenever someone is blocking my way or I am about to block somebody's way or view. I think it is necessary to be polite to anyone at all times especially when you are in public places. You don't want to get into trouble, do you? People, a lot of us, have the tendency of getting annoyed when we feel that we are being disrespected and it is obvious that we don't welcome the behavior that no one seems to care if he/she is blocking my view or my way.
