Something that bothers me.

You know what really bugs me? When a large group of people are walking down the sidewalk and they're all spread out so that it's impossible to get by them and stay on the sidewalk at the same time. The make things worse, the person on the edge of the group can never handle getting behind the rest of the group so that I can walk past them with no problems. Instead, it's usually me that has to veer out of the way, last second, into the grass then back onto the sidewalk.

I can't stand it! What's so hard about moving slightly so that everyone can stay on the sidewalk? I'll tell you what, nothing, that's right, nothing is hard about it. It's like they can't handle being right next to one of their friends for a full 3 seconds. What are you afraid they'll miss you for those 3 seconds? I mean, even if they did I'm sure they could understand the situation of you getting out of the way for someone else. I mean even if you can't get behind them you can always jump in front of them. Maybe even just walk backwards for a few steps until I pass by. Seriously, some common courtesy would be nice.

I guess I just shouldn't let it slide since it bothers me so much. I'm being more assertive now when I walk, so usually I won't move out of the way and end up letting them react or else I end up brushing up right against them or pushing them out of the way. Even then, it still bothers me. Just move out of the way, it's not that hard. Oh and don't even think about turning around and looking at me like it's my fault, cause it's not! ARGH!
