Seriously some people need lessons in walking !! Go to a busy street, find a safe place to watch from, stop and just watch the chaos.
People unlike motor vehicles don't walk in straight lines. They are constantly wandering off at all angles, tangents in weave in and out of other walkers. You are more likely to get "cut up" by a walker than a car sometime multiple times a day.
Walkers listening to music, staring transfixed at their phones, chatting to a fellow shopper, walking at different speeds, everyone is literally a hazard to be avoided.
Today I witnessed someones walker rage first hand and for a change it wasn't directed at me but at someone who walked out of a shop door straight into a person who was walking down the street minding their own business. No one looks they just step out, yet you wouldn't do that in a vehicle or on a push bike. Literally handbags at six paces but neither would apologise to the other or admit they were in the wrong.
This happens everyday yet people mill around and rely on others to move out of the way. It seems these days if you are the stronger you walk in your way and everyone else responds accordingly. What the hell happened to all of us?
We need taught at a young age how to respect each other even when doing such a simple task as walking !
