[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t shoulder check men, but I do stay on my path and if someone is directly walking toward me and isn’t swerving, I stop where I am and wait for him to go around, rather than moving myself. Usually on a sidewalk, not at the metro station where I would cause a jam. It works, but the guys are confused about what they are supposed to do at first. Too funny. [/quote]

I find that people of all ages and genders seem increasingly oblivious to spatial realities. I do as the above poster on sidewalks—if I am with someone and we have encroached into the other side, I move over. If someone encroaches into my area, I either stop or just keep walking. I don’t find that one gender is any more likely to be unawar/entitled than others. I do observe that kids who are under 3 ft tall generally are unaware of any obstacle, human or not, that is taller than they.

DH and I laugh about spatial snafus at Trader Joe’s in particular. Something about that store inspires grocery tourism in which only about 15% of shoppers have any idea where they are in relation to anyone else in the store.[/quote]
