Am I in the wrong or not?
The other day I took my gf to Meijer to exchange a pir of pants. Well, after we exchanged them we were exiting the store. As I was exiting the one set of doors, 2 middle age (40 ish) ladies, both with carts with like only 1 bag in it came through the side set of doors. I let them go first, because I was raised as a gentlemen. Then the one lady stops dead in her tracks. Starts talking to the other lady, blocking both exits. I had to be to work in a half hour, but I had to drop off my gf first. Ant the drive was about 15 minutes with traffic. So I sqeezed through the slight gap that she had, but noticed as I was about to go through, she decides to block me more, so I ran through, her clipping the back of my leg. As I went further out the exit I could hear her mutter something about me being rude to my gf. And she stayed back to appologise. She lectured me about being rude, so I defended myself saying that blocking 2 exits was ruder. Ami I right or wrong?
Well, another thing, is that I work at a place with mostly lazy rude people who like to get in the way on purpose, so my mind was probably setting for work mode. And, I'm also just getiing over some kind of laryngitis, so my voice is a temperarily quiet for the time being. I could of just said excuse me, but for them being able to hear me would of been a strain.

yeah that was rude of them. i would have told that lady that she is in no position to talk to me about being rude. i would have told her that blocking both doors while people are trying to exit is rude and inconsiderate and the apology should come from her. if you clipped her leg, that's her own problem, she set herself up for that.
the nerve of people!! you're definitely NOT in the wrong.
continue to be the gentleman that you are. the world needs more people like you.
take care.

I think you're right and wrong. It is definitely rude to block a door way to have a chat. On the other hand, couldn't you just have said excuse me before you barged through? It's in the realm of possibilities that they were unaware of you and your gf. I think your gf is the hero in this story and I'd be willing to bet those two ladies also apologized for blocking the way when she was talking to them.

She was in the wrong to block you on purpose. She obviously saw you & your girlfriend trying to leave & decided to block the doors in a way to cause you to have to ask her to move or squeeze past like you did.
Next time, don't try to squeeze past. Ask the door blocking idiot to please move. You could say something like, "Could you please move to allow me to exit the store?" Then thank him/her when they get out of the way.

It was rude of her to block the exit. It was rude of you to try to squeeze by and to run through.
It would have been better to say, in your sweetest voice, "Excuse us, ladies, may we slip by?" If they didn't move, then "We need to get by so I can get to work on time." If they still didn't move, then in a slightly annoyed voice, "Excuse us, PLEASE."
