If someone blocks my way I have no problem relocating them such that they’re no longer are blocking my way.

N/M , not the pit mf.

ETA: mf could mean “my friend”.

that’s fair, and a good point. If someone is blocking where you need to go, I have no issue with doing what is physically necessary to remedy the situation. I was just questioning Kayaker’s assertion that he was being more physical than “absolutely necessary”. That seems like recipe for unnecessary escalation of what is already a volatile situation.

Sounds to me like he _was_ as physical as necessary. Ideally, they won’t block someone’s access to healthcare next time.
