Sometimes I turn to someone close behind me in the supermarket and ask; "are you going to ram my legs with your trolley?" Usually that snaps them out of their dream and when they see you they say "oh no, I'm sorry, I won't ram you" and then we part amicably.
You said it perfectly. Immediately reminded me of how I feel when I go looking for some lunch at Whole Foods.
