Banter RDT CLXVVIX - Forward Press Down

[Ambrose Burnside]

The worst is when you go for the overtake and the buffoon in front of you starts drifting in front of you because they find walking in a straight line too difficult, forcing you to slow down again to try to go around the other way.

Ugh.

 

[Dazzler9]

Exiting the lifts at work at the same time as someone you're semi-acquainted with, briefly having a polite chat as you walk out the building, and then realising you're both heading in the same direction as them, is the worst. Do you keep making uncomfortable small talk out of politeness, or cut the cord with a "seeya" and power on away from them??

Option 3 which I've sometimes implemented - "Which way are you headed? Oh, ok, I have to go this way. Seeya later." But I have to be quick about it, before I've committed an obvious direction in which I'm walking.

And then randomly stop so that you’re forced to throw out the anchors or make a sidestep Pendlebury would be proud of

Had a similar today, son's friend's mum at school drop off walking home, I stopped to pretend I had to check something in my son's bag for a minute then started after her.

Usually I just stop and pretend to look at something on my phone to kill a minute to avoid walking with someone.

And on lifts etiquette; mother ****ers who try to enter the lift before letting others out make me straight up rage.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Nah, worst is when you're stuck behind a group of people walking slower than you and there's no room to get past in the side and you can't go through obviously so you're left tapping your foot like Sonic while you wait for them to move ahead enough that you can continue walking.

That's basically walking through any shopping centre these days.

 

[squashface]

How about people that stop and chat in shopping aisles or in doorways?

[Goroyals22]

I walk laps of a lake near my house each evening, loud Russians on mobiles really do my head in..

I think I know someone that can help.

Yes! Your tea can't steep further down the bench, you and it need to stand in front of the tap and have a chat for 5 minutes?

Lift door opens...w***er waiting to go up is standing directly in front of doors...slight shoulder dip and a decent nudge on the pass as exiting!

Stop and chatters should be fined!
I'm with Larry on this one....quick hello while not breaking stride.

Or as soon as they get through that gate thing in the supermarket.

Then they get all uppity when you push them out of the way with your trolley.

 

[Farang83150]

Or those that can't seem to grasp how turn style's work!

One of my biggest is, as a frequent flyer if in cattle class, the w***er that walks down the aisle with a backpack swinging on their shoulder collecting seated people's heads as they pass... KENTS

Walk on the left. Stand on the left of escalators, the right is for passing.

Hurry the **** up everyone. Must be nice to have so much spare time up your sleeve you can dawdle and gawk your way through public spaces.

Choking on my own rage here.

Other cities have worked this out and put up signs. In Perth they’ve decided to leave it to people to be logical, sensible and respectful of others - always a stupid move.

 

[Farang83150]

People on airport travelators that don't walk, even worse when it a couple or a group...KENTS!!

No, they just know we can't read.


Just getting it in there before some interstate bastard does.

When travelling overseas (except England) this becomes walking on the right.

USA, France and Vietnam. Don’t know of many other countries that drive and walk on the right.
