Funny this comes up now. Being on vacation this week ...this has happened a lot. Just me and my wife and an approaching group of people. I guide my wife in front single file, but 99% of the time the other party is to inconsiderate to even give a thought about being considerate of others.

Lasted about 2 days. Now I still move enough to make room to pass, but just enough room that they have to concede a little as well. We can both compromise. If we get single-file...so can they. Those who won't move typically get "shoulder bumped" and by that point I don't care.

Nobody has said anything to me yet.

I let her figure it the fuck out, last I checked she was a grown ass woman and not a small child. Maybe we go single file, maybe stop and let the other woman pass, maybe stand our ground and make the other one get out the way, maybe we reevaluate the life choices that have lead us to this shitty situation where we are forced to walk down a shitty sidewalk full of shitty people like fucking peasants!!

IMHO

The man should get behind his lady and control the situation. As a general etiquette rule, when there's danger (can be expected) the man goes first. When no danger ladies first.

Taking up more than half of the passage width, claiming the oncoming party's space is rude (unless you take up the space not claimed, an "excess" free lane). So is blocking the way to pass by. And, of course, taking up the oncoming party's lane without an apparent reason, just to claim freeing it for you is very rude.

This is epic. They know they can't compete and still look for being smashed. It's so brave to play a victim by provoking.

If it's Wednesday....

D. Make the entire situations as uncomfortable as possible for everyone involved. Run up to the tree and begin yelling at it (drill sergeant style) for being in the way, make a complete ass of yourself; then run home alone.........and proceed to wack off. Then take a nap and enjoy the rest of your afternoon in peace.

THIS!!! I'm notorious for bumping into people that refuse to move. If I make half the effort, they should do the same! If they don't, they get bumped into. The funniest part of this is I've bumped into some pretty big guys. I'm 42 and currently about 150 pounds. Some of the looks I get from guys, twice my size, is hilarious. They never say a word though.

This brings me to my favorite thing about going grocery shopping....bumping fools with my cart! If you are on your cell phone and too ignorant to watch where you are going, because you are face down in your phone, yep; you get hit with my cart. I will not stop walking, to avoid someone, if they do not take the initiative to watch where they are walking. It happens almost every time I go shopping now. It genuinely makes the shopping experience that much more enjoyable. The only exceptions are the elderly. Teenagers and young adults who act all too important looking at their phones and expect the world to revolve around them.....SMASH! I've hit some people pretty hard. Not once have I apologized. Once they look up, at who hit them, and realize what's happened, they get a cold, blank stare without a word. Once they walk away we, usually die laughing. I realize this makes me an asshole, I accept it.

Let your lady walk in front, and as you and the stranger cross paths you must make eye contact to acknowledge what you did for her.

I approve this wholeheartedly! Except for laughing: people's dullness ain't funny to me. It's annoying and it puts me into a doubtful position as being confident you're smart is the (ultimate) proof of dullness actually. Yet I can't just "appreciate" it because I don't do it myself, rather avoiding conflicts as much as I can (and frequently regretting afterwards ) and encouraging would be mean (/sneaky ) therefore.

Lol.....I've done this too. One guy I ran the cart halfway up his hamstring because he stopped in the middle of the isle talking on his phone. He left no room for anyone to get around him.

I actually collapsed him down on one knee. He looked up so helpless....i had to say something. So I told him...."My Bad".

OP, let your lady walk in front of you until you are past the other person.

When I encounter a shopping cart left in the center of the isle...... it gets moved to the end of the isle. Unless there's a kid left in it. If there's a kid left in it, they get a candy bar.....

Lady chiming in here, this is the answer I would prefer as well.

This is also a great solution!

Start cat-calling the lady walking towards you and ask her if she wants to be "yo side chic". Then if your lady exhibits displeasure with your extramarital courtship, slap her on the buttocks and exclaim "nah ima kidding bitch, you know you mah only hoe".

Since women like creativity,


I'd grow a beard. Pull out an ax and chop that fuckin tree down. Grab her and give her a I'm eating you face kiss. Throw her down. Grab the other chick, growl and kiss her too. Chug a beer. Whistle and call over my trusty steed. Hog tie both women. Toss em over the horse and ride off. Towing my new campfire wood.
