    I think it’s more the inconveniencing of everyone around them.

    If they meet each other in the aisle and decide to go off into a more open area or out of the way corner to continue their conversation, far fewer people would take issue.

    Instead, often, two people will block an entire aisle, oblivious to everyone around them. Hence the meme.

          That book was written before the internet existed, all he did was go outside and blow up silly little social situations into crises.

          If internet neckbeards added anything, it was pretending like they actually ventured outside to experience these situations from the safety of the comment sections so they could justify their petty little Two Minute Hate sessions.
