If a bus splashes a puddle, or if a car jumps the curb, both people are getting nailed so that reasoning is toast.
Exactly! Modern vehicles splash puddle water further and with greater intensity than the transportation from the late 19th century. It no longer matters who is closer to the curb.
I saw this on Facebook. I don't really think it's a big deal. If you're out with a guy and he does this, it's easy to correct him. If he keeps doing it and you have a problem with it, it's easy to stop seeing him.
Same here. That would bother me and probably be enough to end things.
If I'm dropping someone at their house I would never drive off until I saw them enter their house. Likewise, if I'm out with friends and we are all driving separately, I always wait until everyone has gotten in their car and started off before I'd drive off.
Me too. It shows a complete lack of compassion and concern for other's well-being. I don't enjoy being in such people's company.
I'd be more concerned with a guy who thought that by walking down the street together that he was "escorting" me anywhere than on which side of the sidewalk the guy walks on.
I once dated a guy who did a complex j.i.g. (like the dance - not sure why it is censored?) when we walked down the street - on the outside unless there was a homeless person or street vendor on the sidewalk on the other side. Then he's quicky side step behind me to block me from the unwashed massed. It was obnoxious and infantilizing.

Thoughts C-D? Diss' perspective. A lot of useless debate over one couple's way of conducting their relationship.

They are two strangers walking on the same sidewalk, not a couple.
"Ibi" is the name of the ill-mannered one in the story who posted pictures of strangers to her social media sites. I agree that "Ibi" is completely in the wrong. "Ibi" and by extension the rest of us have no idea what the social dynamic is between the two people photographed. They could merely be co-workers or acquaintances.
The topic of chivalry is raised. Chivalry is a code of conduct dating back to times when women were considered to be property of a man and it is human nature for a man to protect his property. What has changed since those times is that women are no longer considered property. Even though chivalry is outdated and not applicable to modern society it does not mean that the man should not show consideration to the woman. Given what I saw in the picture: a sunny and dry day with no traffic, no dirty puddles and no mud, consideration was not necessary but it does not mean that the man did not think of these things. We just don't know with the information provided.
"Ibi" and people like her need to mind their own business.
I gotta admit, I didn't even know this was a thing until my junior year in college. Some women I've dated are even annoyed that I do it.
Maybe the woman in this case wanted to walk curbside and corrected the man's initial behavior. She could be claustrophobic and didn't want to be sandwiched between the man and the construction wall.
It all comes down to "Ibi" the busybody passing judgement when not knowing the full story.

I think Ibi or anyone who spends their time taking pictures of random strangers and posting them on social networks need to get lives of their own instead of worrying about what other people are doing. There are far bigger problems in the world.
I noticed it right off the bat from just... whatever... tradition.
But, "outrage"?! People were outraged?
Because on person with an agenda shares it and 9 other follow from Jose 9 others they all being in another 9 themselves
Call it the lemming affect
People do not share things without reason
