When you're on a collision path with a fellow pedestrian, what do you do?

The record for the world?s worst drivers is a toss-up between two candidates: First, a 75-year-old man who received 10 traffic tickets, drove on the wrong side of the road four times, committed four hit-and-run offenses, and caused six accidents, all within 20 minutes on October 15, 1966. Second, a 62-year-old woman who failed her driving test 40 times before passing it in August, 1970 (by that time, she had spent over $700 in lessons, and could no longer afford to buy a car).

I usually move because most of the time people are *&$#ing oblivious and don't even realize they are surrounded by other people.

Ususally I take initiative and do a sidestep, but inevitably the person does the same, sidestepping back in front of me. Then, we repeat the process, doing some akward litttle dance.

After the 2nd or third step, i usually just bolt.

Move over half the distance needed, and if they don't move the rest I run into them.

if it's a girl I turn towards her, hoping that her breasts will rub up against me. if it's a guy I move further over so we don't dry grind so much.

I move TO THE RIGHT. I hate it when people step to the left. You always go to the right - just like when driving, grocery shopping, etc.

lol ya.

some of these responses are hilarious ahahah, esp. mrpickin's one.

hate it when that happens ahhaha.


one time my friend was riding a bike. I can't believe this happened. From my standpoint, I see my friend riding, and he looks at someone in front of him in a wierd stare. All of a sudden, I see him collide w/ another person in a bike WTF.

My friend said that he was hoping the other guy can turn. Basically, both guys thought the other would turn, and they stared at each other and then they collided before both realized that the other won't turn.

My friend got a huge sprained ankle from that, and his ankle swelled up 2-3 times the size of its norm

Yeah, that really bothers me too.

That and when there's a bus stop and people just make a huge group in the middle of the sidewalk blocking it all instead of making a line parallel to the sidewalk on one side as to let people walk by...
Students at UW-Madison waiting to take the 80 bus, I'm talking to you.

I guess I'm the only that picked "I wait for the other person to move laterally"

The trick to making the other guy move is very simple and slightly anti-social. Simply avoid all eye contact and keep moving in a straight line.

Slightly lean forward, straighten shoulders, keep walking, and brace for impact. The other person's personal safety is up to them.

Hmmmm, how about the groups of 4-5+ that feel like they must walk shoulder to shoulder creating a human tsunami of retardedness.

This more happens at the mall that a sidewalk.

Blow through the line making sure they see your disgusted look or walk around the edge of the wave?

I flail my arms and make obnoxiously loud sounds so the other person will get freaked out and move aside rather quickly.

i sometimes move out of the way, but sometimes i just want the other person to move and i'll bump into them if they don't. i guess it just depends on my mood.

Again, avoid eye contact and keep walking straight. That tsunami will part like the red sea and you will feel like moses himself.
