I’m not asking for the world here, but there are two things that have been driving me nuts the first 2 days of the expo:

1. DO NOT randomly stop walking in the middle of a crowded aisle to send a text message. Absolute shocker the complete lack of situational awareness some people seem to have. The least you could do is move off to the side a bit if you must urgently respond to a text or something. Don’t just stop dead in the middle of a moving crowd to look at your phone like a fucking zombie, even if you’re dressed like one.

2. For the love of god, please pick a better spot for you and your large group of mates to stop and have a debrief about which panel to attend next than doorways and right at the top/base of a staircase. Actually insane how many large groups will enter a busy doorway and then IMMEDIATELY STOP right at the entrance to have a chat about what to do/where to go next. Same thing with large groups descending/ascending a staircase then immediately stopping at the foot of the stairs to have a yap session, while stopping other people from being able to go up and down the stairs.

People really need to do a better job of just maintaining a basic level of situational awareness. Move out of the way, don’t obstruct foot traffic if you can avoid it, and if you’re in a large group try to think for a second about how much space you’re taking up in any given situation.
