Sidewalk protocol.

JimNasium · 07-26-2006, 09:09 AM

I typically take a short walk every morning and afternoon. It helps clear my mind, reduce stress and provides me with some physical benefit. Nearly every day I encounter people who have zero clue on how to properly utilize a sidewalk. It seems to me that common sense would dictate that if you are walking two or three abreast on the sidewalk that one of you needs to yield to oncoming walkers. 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.

If I was walking on a sidewalk with a tight rope walker and he fell off? That would be completely unacceptable.

**Saulbadguy** · 07-26-2006, 09:11 AM

Other walkers - I yield
Walker with dog - I yield
Runner - I yield
Stroller - I yield

I guess I pretty much yield in every situation.

Just pull your donger out and shake it at them. They'll move, trust me.

Always veer right for oncoming people. I usually go to the grass if its a large sweaty woman to avoid incadental contact

jiveturkey · 07-26-2006, 09:13 AM

I'm with ya.

The mall and amusment parks are even worse. I hate getting trapped behind a group of mouth breathers that are walking 5 or 6 abreast and moving at -4 mph.

I've considered making shirts that say shut your mouth and do something.

milkman · 07-26-2006, 09:13 AM

When did people actually start using the sidewalk?

**Donger** · 07-26-2006, 09:16 AM

Oh, and people at the airport on the people mover, flat escalator things? KEEP fuckING WALKING, YOU FAT, LAZY PR*CKS!!!

Those things are fun. I like to walk fast on them. "It feels like i'm running at an incredible rate!"

Walking through the crowded concourses of Arrowhead Stadium to make a line to the mens room has made me very good at "crowd navigation".

YES! I walk as fast as I can on them and it's fun as hell. Of course, I'm easily amused too.

Bootlegged · 07-26-2006, 09:21 AM

Or those phooking Lance wannabees that ride their Schwins in packs of 40 on 2 lane roads during rush hour?

it's made me quite a good drunk driver

easy it was a joke

Megbert · 07-26-2006, 09:31 AM

I too hate yeilding to people on the sidewalk. I also dislike pedestrians as a general rule. Especially at crosswalks. They will run up to the intersection to make the light then as soon as they enter said intersection they 'heal-toe' it across. Or they cross against the light.

PastorMikH · 07-26-2006, 11:07 AM

Eh, just give them a good bump with your shoulder as you pass by and they'll learn. 'Course, I can probably get by with this a little easier than a scrawny bean pole like JimNasium.
