[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were you and your husband walking side by side? When you do that, you reduce the ability for others to pass you with added distance.

Walk single file next time, OP. [/quote]

This. If you were walking side by side versus single file, you had it coming. [/quote]

Nope. We all need to adapt. No one has the right to barrel through, and a couple side by side is not blocking a path. [/quote]

Sorry, op. You were in the wrong. [/quote]

Not OP. Sorry guidance is 6 ft. Not 6 inches. [b]Side by side makes them maybe 3 ft wide vs 1.5 ft[/b]; runner was STILL supposed to be giving widest berth to them, not threading the needle. And honestly, simply say you are approaching and ASK them to go single file. I have no doubt they would comply, just run in place for a few seconds like those marathoners.

Serious runners, you are going to end up getting shot. Calm the F down and be considerate.

OP, carry a walking stick and hold it horizontal between the two of you. Between that and mask, all these nutso runners will avoid you. [/quote]

Two people walking side by side take up 4-5 feet, not 3. Just FYI. [/quote]

Huh?  Sidewalks are 4 ft wide and we walk side by side with easily 8 inches to the sidewalk. [/quote]

Are you including your arms and shoulders? They swing out further than your legs. Two people side by side take up an entire 4 ft sidewalk. [/quote]

Yes I am including that, but maybe you are running into wide people.

Either way, guidelines are 6 ft. You see a single person, 2 ft wide apparently, so you have to move 8 ft; if you see two people, you have to move 10 ft.  So an additional person side by side means you have to move 25% more, either way you bulk of your move is from adhering to guidelines, whether a single person or two. [/quote]
