I can guarantee you do not pay 100% attention to your surroundings at all times. Even trained spies can’t do that. Sometimes you get caught up in something and otherwise forget. This is a case of special pleading…also known as a double standard. You’re expecting perfection from others but can’t meet that expectation yourself.
It really is THAT simple. Why do I need to stand in a doorway, or somewhere that I know is going to have some kind of traffic eventually, to talk? Just don’t stand in the way, or move out of the way when you notice you need to, and things move smoothly. IDK what the other person is on about being 100% aware and a spy isn’t capable of doing that. That’s hyperbolic and irrelevant. It’s not hard to look up or in front of you and move, and it’s even easier not to stand in an obnoxious spot or obstruct space for no reason
Why do I need to stand there? Well, why do I need to move if no one’s there? Why do we have to do anything? Why don’t I just look after me, and trust that you will speak up for yourself? If I notice you, I’ll accommodate. If I don’t notice you, I’ll be courteous when you say “Excuse me.” Why is that so hard for you to understand? You know it’s actually just as easy to say those two words as is it to avoid doorways! Maybe we all give each other some grace?

Get out of the doorway.
Get out of the aisle.
Be courteous to the people around you, even if they aren’t there yet.
