I’m getting rather sick and tired of the lack of sidewalk manners. If you are walking with your friends please move into single file when you see someone coming in the opposite direction so they can pass.

  1. I would like to be second in saying “move the hell over.” It’s two way traffic on all city sidewalks. Have a little respect.

  2. I have the same problem and I am the one who usually has to move into the street to get around these people who use up the whole sidewalk.

  3. What really irks me is when the same sort of people are out for a leisurely stroll along Spring Garden or Barrington. Or maybe I’m just a speedwalking jerk.

  4. These people are idiots and not worth being shown any consideration if they can’t do you the courtesy of something as simple as moving over a squidge to let you pass. Give ’em a good shoulder check and fuck their significant other in the ass. That’d make it about even, I think.

  5. Speeding Jerk or no (but in my case, yes) I can tolerate two side-by-side on big sidewalks like spring garden… but three? four? who the hell do you think you are? and what can be so important that you can’t get some scrunched up sort of flying-v or double-file pattern that everyone would definitely appreciate?

  6. Not only that, but the slow moes walking down SGR are also the ones that you basically fall over because you were trying to get around them when they decide to just stop in the middle to text someone. I’m definitely the speed walking jerk type I guess.

  7. haha also those people who walk in a continuous “S” from side to side on the path, really slow, so when you go to pass, they walk in front of you, then you try going around and they come back…
