Mostly applies to passengers but pilots can do this also.
People who step out of the elevator, theater, airliner, crew bus/van, or any other confined space and stop, right in the path, to adjust something, greet a friend, orient themselves or any other idiotic activity. STEP OUT OF THE WAY! Please.

So this little TSA manlet with a douche bag chin-strap beard tries to board immediately as the doors open only to have myself and another guy who were ready to exit not give him any leeway. He looked pretty clumsy passing through the ringer. As he squeezed by I somewhat loudly (and rhetorically) asked him why he couldn't wait till we exited before entering the train. He just kept shuffling onward and shook his head mumbling under his breath. I already despise the TSA enough as it is...fuel for the fire.

Yup. Also gotta love the "parents" who let their kids walk around (more like run) freely without any supervision. I just recently heard a story of a regional FA who saved a toddler from sure death by grabbing him dangerously close to a moving prop when he walked out the door during boarding while the parents were at the podium changing seats. 
Sorry, but if TWO adults can't handle ONE child, put the kid on one of those kid leashes.

In all seriousness though, when we were kids we got told to sit in the wagon/stroller/whatever and stay quiet. We were too scared of dad to ever cross him more than once....

Just because you repeat something twice doesn't mean it is correct. Despite the name of this forum (Airline Pilot forums) there are many sections and non-airline pilots. Corporate, non-aviation, training, instructing, fractional, etc. A flight attendant is free to post here, and the different opinions make it a good place.

On a related note, I awarded a mental TOTD award to the TSA agent that couldn't be bothered to allow myself and the other occupants of the arriving terminal train to exit the train before forcing is his way on board. There is even a PA announcement before each train arrives asking people to let everyone exit before you board (which I had previously felt to be unnecessary as doing such a thing should be a common courtesy...)

What is with certain people trying get on a train or elevator without letting the other people get off first?
It's always comical to watch them step into the flow of people attempting to disembark trying to zig zag their way through the crowd.
