Of course, I try to avoid walking at all costs.

Walking is for suckers.

That's my method...quit copying. what I find most funny on that is the whole look, like, "what is she doing?"

You need to get down to Springtown. We have some tremendous Planet gatherings.

It is much worse in Japan. I adopted the ugly American philosophy of screw em. I would walk along staring at the sidewalk/tile in a mall and never look up. Big significantly larger if they could not catch my eye they would steer clear and I would move right on through. They have no concept over their of walking on the right, no matter how wide the sidewalk or mall hallway they spread out and all walk abreast, same with stairs. Very strange and annoying.

Ah, this reminds me of a favorite family story about my Grandpa. He was about 5'6" and weighed about 130# but he was a professional boxer. As he and Grandma walked down the street in Chicago three "toughs" approached and decided to crowd him off the sidewalk. He gave them a lesson on "sidewalk protocol" that day.

Instead I often encounter a modified game of chicken with the oncoming offender refusing to move. Usually, out of a spirit of civility, I move to the grass and keep going but I must admit that it irritates the hell out of me. I'm seriously contemplating putting out a bowl of antifreeze to teach these beady-eyed slopeheads a lesson once and for all.

For God's sake, is that all you do? Bitch bitch bitch.

People walk more in SF and have it down a little better than when I get out of the city. On Bart there is an unwritten rule where you stand on the right and walk on the left on escalators.

I picked up my friend from the airport before 9/11 and met him at the gate. We were behind some heavy ladies on the people mover that were also arriving on the KC flight that couldn't grasp this concept (even there were signs to point it out.)

I simply stated, "Stand on the right, walk on the left." The lady freaked out about how rude I was. She did move though.

When approaching groups I normally head right for the middle. From a distance I want to make it clear that their group will have to seperate. I guess if they play chicken I will have to stop, or pull a Larry Johnson. However, they always seperate.

I was walking to dinner last night. Just as I entered a narrow pedestrian ramp (one of those built due to construction) who should enter the other end of the ramp but something like 100 teenage girls. The must have been on campus for some cheerleading camp or something. Needless to say they did not yield, or even acknowledge my existance for that matter. I plowed through on the right hand side, turning sideways to make my profile as narrow as possible.

That really ticks me off. When you are in a car, you can only go when the light is green.

Last fall, some turkey pulled that stunt. I stuck my head out the window and yelled, "Cross with the light!". He yelled back, "FU!" Except his reply had 7 letters instead of 2. It was a really productive conversation.
