Standing in Blockbuster perusing the rows of rental DVDs, I find my view suddenly blocked by a man in a hoodie. He's one of those browsers who stands directly in front of the shelves, thereby preventing anyone else from browsing whilst he does. I sigh and step to my left, preferring an overview of the shelves myself. After a few seconds, the following exchange takes placce:
Mr Hoodie: "Jedi?"
Jedi: "Yeah?"
Mr Hoodie: "Come 'ere." (A girl of six or seven appears at his side with a smaller girl - Yoda? Stormtrooper? Death Star?) "What you doing?"
Jedi: "Nothin'. We wanna watch X."
Yoda: "Yeah! We wanna watch X."
Mr Hoodie: "I've seen it and I think it's too adult for you. You won't like it."
Yoda: "Adult is good."
Jedi: "We can do adult."
By this point, my view of the shelf is completely obstructed by one chav and two small girls with deeply tragic names, so I move on - sniggering, of course.

Oh what wonderful eyes and ears you have.
Netflicks.
Oh God. Yuck is all I can say.
Happy to learn I’m not the only one who comes into contact with people who stand directly in front of shelves. . .
Hmmm. Were you hoping to find "A Room With a View"?
Ohhh - so you've met Grand Moff Hoodie then. Sniggers right along with you.
