Lifehack: if you are facing oncoming foot traffic that look like they won't get out of the way, just stop walking. As soon as you stop they will move around you.

I often just stop when an approaching group is taking up the entire walkway. It startles people when they are the one that needs to move to get around me. Frequently they get within a couple of feet of me before they realize it.

Long way to go and a short time to get there.

It startles them more if you lower your head and charge.

There's usually not time to whip it out. I usually just give them the WTF look and say excuse me a little louder than is called for.

Doesn't matter. Probably safer to wear pants in this particular situation, but that is a marginal call

This is pretty much me when it comes to groups hogging the entire sidewalk:

I just barrel right thru. Only exception is for kids and little old ladies. Another is I totally do the spin-and-walk-backwards-to-maintain-eye-contact-a-few-more-seconds move for the chick at 02:35

Not just "walking wide" in sidewalks, hallways, stairs, etc. Was just at the grocery store; in an approximately 15 minute trip, I came across multiple sets of people who just stopped in the middle of an aisle instead of moving to the side.

GRRRR. Just because you don't know what you're doing, don't hold up those of us that do.

I always leave my basket at the ends of the aisles so I squeeze around blockers if I have to.

But are you cool with It?

I would like to have such calm and not annoyed attitude in such situations. The truth is that I believe that actually nothing should piss me ( people in general) off, because being pissed off is completely non-productive emotion.

35000 posts in less than 10 years point to it being fairly natural to feel pissed off when you shouldn't.

How many posts would the thread for everything that pisses people off contain?

Usually it's just funny and I can go around. When it means my day is stalled it becomes annoying.

This should piss me off but here’s a tip for women who have a height fetish. If you want to find a seemingly abnormal concentration of men who are 6’5” and taller, just visit the front row along the street at the Disneyland parade. The stupid mother****ers are packed shoulder to shoulder boxing out the view for all the kids.
