F...Idiots Who Walk Stupid

OK, so basically this is another thing coming to a head along with my road rage. Most of you know I work in a university (specifically a university where 99% of the students drive cars worth over forty-thousand dollars). So the grounds crew here has just started digging out the snow to where the walkways are maybe 1-2 people across. Just like a two-way highway, I'm walking on the right, and someone is walking towards me on the right.

Lately, these assholes are walking 2-3 people across and just keep on plowing ahead either expecting me to get out of the way rather than get behind each other or just don't give a crap.

I'm someone who doesn't like to cause problems and basically step off the sidewalk into snow so that the BFFs can keep their hands on each other's asses. Yesterday I got so fed up by it that I refused to move and drove a shoulder so hard into a kid he almost fell down and I just kept on walking. Next person who doesn't respect SOME kind of etiquette next time gets head-butted.

I know this sounds bitter, but get into a line if we're passing each other at the same time, THEN you can go back to 2-3 wide again.

Oh man this drives me nuts too. Yeah I really don't understand it when people walking towards you don't move aside. If I'm giving you the courtesy, you should do the same.

On the same note I can't stand it when you're in a store or mall and you get stuck behind a family of 4 all walking beside each other hogging the aisle, and of course they're walking super slow and seem to have no clue where they are going. Move the F outta my way!

And doesn't it seem like when you want to pass them they either swerve slightly in your direction or speed up?

Oh god.. yeah or when they even fucking see you.. and still don't move.. I've gotten into the habit of moving people's carts for them without saying anything, as long as they don't have their hands on the cart

Big time pet peeve here too. I went to Richmond, kids did that crap all the time. I did the same thing, eventually just walked right into them.

What, you didn't turn around, walk in front of them and then slow them down in order to annoy them into following the Schneed rules? I'm disappointed.

6'2 / 245 .... ladies and gentlemen ... I found our strongside LB ............ hello Mr. Allen , do I get a finders fee ??? I had this problem in the store a few years ago , a guy and women blocking the aisle , so I said excuse me . The guy looked over his shoulder at me .... then turned back and started talking to her , still blocking the aisle . So , I grab his cart and started to walk away with it . He starts yelling " hey ", " hey " what are you doing ???? I just continued to walk , finaly got around to the next aisle and pushed his cart down the aisle . He starts yelling at me to " go get the cart " !! By now , more than a few people are looking at us , so ask him , slowly " sir , are you ok " ? Do you need help ? You need a doctor ?? By that time he realized that everyone now assumed he was crazy .... so I walk past his lady friend and as I pass her I ask , does his wife know you .... he had on a ring , she did not . I was tempted at first to hit the jerk , but I thought this ended up better .

I suffer from the "I'm bigger than you so get the F outta my way" syndrome too.
