    I walked between 2 people standing in the middle of the hallway having a conversation, I said excuse me before hand, but they both got indignant about the fact that I said something and interrupted their conversation! WTF? You stand in the middle of a busy hallway, and you're going to get pissed because I used my manners.... Wow!

    A lot of people are just rude, I blame cell phones and parents who didn't teach them manners.

    people suck, which is why I wish I had a permit to be the punch police. I'm not terribly strong so unless its an infant or an old person, it'll just be a WTF just happened to my face punch.

    Worked at Lowe's for a while, some guy was holding the door so I politely said thank you as I walked through. He looked at me and said, I wasn't holding it for you. and I turn around to see his wife and daughter walking towards the door.

    If i hadn't worked there I would have told him off right quick. People are *kitten*,

    One of the great things about being skinny is this never happens. You can slither and slide by everyone. We can pretty much blend into walls and ****.

    Stop walking so slow... or stay to the right and out of the way for people who have somewhere to be.

    Are you saying they actually bump into you and dont say anything ? If so, yeah that would irk me quite a bit. I'll tell ya though, I cant stand when people are walking side by side and taking up a whole sidewalk or everyone is walking along and then one person just stops suddenly when I am right behind them. They might get another comment besides excuse me in that case.

    I sometimes get extremely annoyed at people walking terribly slow, and take up the path (Edinburgh is being dug up at the moment so all the paths are extremely narrow), so it makes it hard to walk past without knocking into them a bit. If I struggle to walk as slow as you, then clearly you are not walking at a normal pace. Though saying that, I went to London for a job interview, and I think I was the slowest person in the city (so you can imagine how slow these annoying people in my city are!!).

    So my moral of this story is that people walk in a different pace. On one side, you could be super dooper fit, or in a rush to get somewhere. On the other side, you might not be so fit (age, health reasons), or you are too busy rubbernecking, or just looking at your phone (usually this is the case). Just as you are annoyed at them, they could potentially be annoyed at you for walking too slow and making them late for something. If they knock past you, it was probably because you were walking right bang in the middle. Though manners don't cost anything true. I usually say excuse me and run past them, and go back to fast walking pace.

    Sometimes I wish there was a fast and slow lane on paths.

    I lived in Mumbai India for 2 years & people walking by & bumping you was a regular occurrence due to sheer population & crowds on the streets. It's inevitable to the point you'd be apologizing constantly.
