…a wild pack of high schoolers appear! You use “smile politely at them and say excuse me” but it failed!
Wild pack of high schoolers use “take up the entire sidewalk like you’re not even there.” It’s super effective! You have been pushed off the sidewalk! You now have mud all over your brand new heels! —Sharing is Caring, Assholes!

If they don’t look like they’re going to move, I just stop walking.
They’ll go around. They certainly aren’t going through me….
and no need to get those shoes mucked up.
that works every time zed and it’s vewy refweshing
Pokemon reference caught. Lolz.
I applaud OP’s use of Pokémon references. It makes the bitch significantly better.
Wanna buy a freight container of Pokemon cards? My kid left it behind the house when she moved.
Fuck high school kids, I’d just plow through ’em and whack ’em with my paisley cane.
i raise you a crapload of beany babies, lego and thomas the tank engine stuff and a beautiful drum kit. tho, i am not willing to part with any of it
Raise you another pair of drums and 437 assorted Barbie parts. Those I will part with!
haha, no thanks…the pink barbie aisle at toys r us made our brains hurt, besides they had a crappy lego selection. lego discontinued the millenium falcon, bastards
can we say body block? seems to me that in a situation such as this, my arms suddenly grow a lot longer and wider.
I find “keep walking straight” works really well, 100% actually. Maybe next time there is a herd of mindless youth bumbling towards you just do that instead of allowing them to continue obliviously hogging the sidewalk and you may even avoid getting your shoes dirty 😉
A bunch of teenagers oblivious and unyielding. You don’t see that everyday.
40-year-olds do this too. Other than that, I agree, it’s a bitch. I was once walking toward a pack of people and moved as close to the fence beside me as I could, but I think they expected me to turn into liquid and move through the fence to give them the space they desperately needed.

No, you chose to STEP OFF the sidewalk – you weren’t “pushed”.
Stand there. They will move eventually, bu they will move.
Stop being a dummy.
Throw up the ‘bows, square your shoulders and plow on through….
spit on them.
I have a “cowcatcher” attachment for such occassions…
And Mssr Meaty is correct.
You’re the one who moved. Plow through!

I’m wondering if this bitch is written by someone who has to walk toward downtown Halifax from the Quinpool area. After passing the commons, depending on the time of day you may have the misfortune to meet a generally solid wall of north end high school students walking toward you. They are having to get off the Number 7 bus at the corner of Gottingen and Cornwallis, then they walk up toward the commons. This occurs on school days just before 9 am and if you spit on them, please report back to us here at LTWWB and please send pictures of your condition during the aftertime. Um, excellent advice! Yeah, let me know how that goes for ya!
oops I meant Cogswell street (time for more vodka…)
