I have a feeling that if I met you in a hallway, you would be one of those rare people who can't figure out what to do and scoots sideways along the wall to pass me.

Did you ever think that maybe they're thinking you're the one that can't figure out what to do, since you're walking down the wrong side of the hallway?

I knew there was a high probability of him being a troll. I also knew there was a probability of him just being stupid. I found the stupid option to be more fun

There is nothing worse in this world than people who walk down the wrong side of the sidewalk/hallway/doorway/etc. I will not move, I refuse.





op makes me think of the priest in Ladyhawke....'Walk on the left side!!'

i applaud you OP, for mixing it up a bit out there in the real world. :thumbsup:

Yes, please make it less efficient for me to get where I am going -- I LOVE IT!!

I might run into you on purpose for that. I like to play chicken.

Two people walking down the hall.

One walks down the proper side.

One purposely walks down the wrong side and refuses to move.

If the one walking down the proper side refuses to move, they're the jerk? Can you explain your reasoning?

When I'm walking down the right side of a hallway/grocery aisle/etc and some entitled/oblivious twat is coming straight for me on the same side, I just come to a dead stop and stand there. It's funny because they immediately lose their commitment to falsely standing their ground. Think about it: you can't possibly be accused of running into them, and if they run into you, you're likely to crack one upside their stupid little heads.

I've only had someone actually run into me once (when doing this); it was some heffer at the grocery store and she got all pissy because I didn't dive out of her way. I told her to make an "L" with her hands if she needed help deciphering right from left. She made a few facial contortions (might have just been gas) and moved along.

I'm not saying anyone is the jerk. I guess it's just not that important to me to assert some some measure of dominance while walking down a hallway that I would REFUSE to move. The moral of the zax story is, sometimes you have to pick your battles, and certain things just aren't worth the fight. Picking what side of a hall is the "correct" side is just a little lower on my radar than yours apparently.

When you've been minimized and ground down to a faint little nub by schlepping it in a cubicle for a decade+, it's the trivial moral victories that keep you going .

Besides, you have a pink avatar with polka dots. We can't trust what you say.

This is hysterical!

On Friday, a lady and I were walking toward each other, she was walking on her left side, I was on my right.

I was thinking to myself - "This is America mother******, we drive on the right". As we got closer and closer she veered even more to her left.

Then, when I was about to go elbows up, she pitched some trash in a garbage can on her left.

d'oh.

Trust me when I say that I would NOT try to squeeze to your right.....YOU would be dancing to your right, to get over on the right side of the damn passageway, and get around ME.......or I'd simply run your scrawny butt over!! :twisted:
