^THIS! (and the door blockers!). I've started walking a nearby bridge while my kids are at practice. The sidewalk width on the bridge isn't very wide. My problem is the oncoming traffic of people who insist on staying 2,3 people abreast as if their lives depend on it. When I walk with a friend, if we see someone coming we immediately go single file. Walking alone, I've been whacked by elbows and practically rammed into the side. I have a new method of puffing myself up and swinging my arms wildly when I see people coming.I have another one: People who hang out by the shopping carts in the store. I want to walk in, grab a cart, and go. I don't want to wait for you to finish whatever conversation you felt needed to be done while you block all access to the carts. Or wait while your 4 kids stand in front of all of them while you wipe down the cart you are going to use. Or while you try to convince your toddler to get in the cart! Take a cart, and then get the heck out of the way!
