Why do some people...

Think it's okay to tailgate you and to walk right up on you? I am so tired of people who want to go faster to ride on my bumper when there is an open lane next to us. Go around me!!! This morning I was walking into the office building I work in and some guy walked right up behind me and when I wouldn't walk faster stepped on the back of my shoe. I turned around and asked if he was trying to rob me and he took off. There was plenty of room on the sidewalk to go around me.

I'm done, thanks for listening.

LOL, that sounds like me. When people ride up my heels (mainly at Disney), I always turn around and ask them if they're trying to pick my pocket. No? Then stop touching my ***! It's so obnoxious and totally unnecessary.

Ha. I was just thinking this the other day. I swear everyone has forgotten how to drive! It is realy bad, and makes me feel like it isn't safe to be on the road!

I am going to have to remember to use that 'are you going to rob me' line though. Good one!

Tailgating drivers make me crazy, so I either slow down or just pull over and let them pass.

As for pedestrians, I think some people don't have a well-developed sense of personal space. I know some cultures don't have this concept either. I've never experienced that -- I suppose only good-looking people get "tailgated" while walking!
