[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who have poor walking etiquette. On sidewalks, in stores, etc.

I have no problem shoulder checking people hard, if you're walking 3 across on the sidewalk. [/quote]

I'm a small woman. I read this and it really resonated:

I started by just not getting out of men's way as a default. I'm never discourteous, if I'm walking toward 2-3 men on a sidewalk, I'll be on the right. But I'm not stepping onto the grass to accommodate their group. It's downright startling how ready they are to run into me. Not intentionally, but just because they assume I'll move. [/quote]

The other issue is moms with multiple children. Moms need to actively instruct their kids to step aside in these situations. But they don't. So I find myself head to head with an 11 year old who doesn't have the common sense to step aside.

It's one of those kind of stupid things that I actually felt proud of one day. I was with my kid and my friend's kids on a narrow paved path through a wooded park - a very popular walking trail. My son and I fell in line whenever another party approached. But every damn time I had to tell the other 2 kids to move over. When I didn't, they just didn't budge. Took up the whole path as though they had no idea people were walking right towards them head on. [/quote]
