If someone is walking toward a door but stops right in front of it, or when the elevator doors open and they just stand there blocking the way, can I tell them to move inside by saying **“Head in!”** or **“Head inside!”**?
I know these two expressions are often used to invite someone to go in together, like **“Let’s head in”** or **“Let’s head inside.”** I also know there are more polite options, such as **“Step inside, please.”**
But what I really want to understand is how **“head in”** and **“head inside”** sound when used as commands.
1 Can they be used naturally in this kind of situation?
2 If I’m angry and shout **“Head in!”** or **“Head inside!”**, does it sound natural?
3 If I’m not angry and just say it normally, how would the listener feel?
4 Also, if I tell someone to **“Head inside!”** a very small space, like a closet, does it sound a bit dramatic — as if the closet were some kind of separate world?

Great question!
But here's the secret: in real life, if someone's blocking a doorway or an elevator, we just say "Excuse me, please" — and walk right through.
That's the whole song, no extra verses needed.
Now, "Head in" and "Head inside" — they work great as casual invitations with friends: "Let's head inside."
But as commands to a stranger? They sound a bit off — like you're sending someone on an adventure rather than just asking them to move.
If you're angry? Go with "Get inside!" or "Move!" — those hit hard and clear.
And yes — telling someone to "Head inside!" a closet absolutely sounds like you're opening a portal to another world.
Golden rule: When in doubt, "Excuse me, please" never fails.
