Same here. It's fellow men 95% of the time. It's like this stupid testosterone version of chicken where the less manly man is supposed to get out of the others' path. It drives me mad. I almost never encounter this from women, unless they are absent-mindedly looking at their phone or something and haven't noticed that we're about to collide.

What side do you get on when someone walking dog? Sometenes they walk close to building....


I hate when people stand in road to see if bus coming . Dies that make it come faster ? It's usually elderly people.

Zombies

Bikers think they own road do not follow traffic rules.

People walk to slow when crossing street . Walk with a sense of urgency.

People who say they want Italian beef juicy I grew up saying dipped.

Zombies as in tweakers?

Have I got some stories from living in East Dayton.

I think it's more of zombies on to many meds or downers walking around slowly just like on walking dead. Not paying attention to surroundings.

There are WAY too many dogs on the sidewalks these days, and they seriously screw with the flow of pedestrian traffic, especially when the humans walking them have them on long leashes. You have to decide whether to bump into the human, take your chances with the dog that looks like it's ready to take a bite our of your ankle, or deal with the trip wire connecting the two. Or walk all the way out into the street to avoid the whole mess. And that's not even to mention what happens when a dog is stopping to sniff every single tree, post, or fire hydrant, or encounters another dog.

I would imagine that most of these people have had an experience of missing the bus because they are old, slow, and small, and therefore unable to jump up and flag down the driver by the time he reaches the stop. Then they had to wait another 14-30 minutes, possibly in harsh weather, for the next bus. There are some drivers, though they may be a minority, who will look for any excuse to not stop if there is not a clearly intended passenger right in front of them flagging them down. If I were old, small, and slow, I'd probably wait in the street, too, so I could be sure to catch the damned thing when it finally arrives.

The problem is that they are standing in traffic, risking to be run over.

when you are shopping and they ask if you need bags. If i forget my bags I will let you know. If I am standing there with no bags I probablly need bags no need to ask I am not going to be offended that I have to pay 10 cents.
