Current Events > Why are some people so oblivious toward obvious sidewalk etiquette

(+) Yeah! (+)

You walk on your right side like the road fuckers trying to play chicken walking on wrong side

People get stupid when it comes to walking or standing in general. I hate going to a store and it's obvious you're trying to move through the aisle and some asshat is just chillin' on the phone in the middle and doesn't move.

Or like people are walking in the mall and just stop randomly in front of you - go to the wall first damn.

depends on where you're at, some places are lower class and don't queue as well.
---

Not all sidewalks are wide enough to do that. Plus if you're walking with one or more other people in a group, well. Not gonna form a line if I'm talking with them.
---

The sidewalk is for regular walkin not fancy walkin
---

You don't have to form a single file line but don't force people into the grass to get around your leisurely asses.

Pretty rude, dude. Someone's gotta give, the sidewalk is for everyone.

everyone should be forced to take marching drills in school and there should be flow of traffic laws for walking

The worst are parents and their kids looking around the kid's new college town. Holy shit.
---

I like stumbling down the sidewalk totally hammered as I play air guitar.
---

Or a sorority group walking back from froyo. Holy shit.

i honestly think it's worse if I'm walking with a group or person w/ the bad etiquette. I will play chicken and other people will move, no problem there. But sometimes I'm with a friend and they're just talking and living 100% in the moment and I'm just thinking about how they're completely blocking someone else's path and it's my job to control traffic now. i don't think the people I know are always this oblivious I think they get caught up in the conversation.

I've noticed some people just walk with a blank expression on their face. I believe some people just walk without any sort of destination in mind.

Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking about this, I swear my friends are the same way

It's one of those "it's weird if I say something but it's weird if I don't" moments
