Being aware of what’s around you. Whether driving and not looking before pulling out, blocking the middle of the supermarket aisle, stopping in the doorway, standing in the middle of the footpath playing with your phone; so many people are completely oblivious. The world doesn’t revolve around you, have some ordinary consideration and manners.
I know it’s tempting to dismiss these people as all being assholes. But in my experience, once they realize they’re in your way, they’ll usually apologize and move. Drives me crazy, but some people really are that oblivious.

I was going to say things. Situational awareness is very much lacking, especially in certain parts of the world.
Most of them are perfectly aware. They just don’t care.
