Footpaths exist everywhere, they are not a new
invention and I can 100% guarantee that everyone has used one before.
Why oh why must people then feel like they own all the space, ALL THE
SPACE, when using them? So, I have some tips for
those of you who cannot comprehend the concept of sharing.
1.
If walking with a group of two or more people, you will
have to change formations when coming across people in the other
directions. Do not hold three abreast, it’s rude. Someone/a few of you
drop back to let others past.
2. If you’re in a couple, don’t walk with your arms around
each other. It’s awkward and it looks that way. Holding hands still
tells the world that you’re together and also allows you movement to
accommodate others.
3. Depending on what part of the world that you come from,
pick the side you use to drive in and stick to it. If in Australia, walk
to the left hand side, if in the States, walk to the right. It works
for everyone, you don’t need to do
an awkward dance.
4. If you are a slow walker, once again pick a side and allow others to pass.
5.
Stopping suddenly. I get this has to happen at points-
you’ve forgotten something, your phone is ringing and you have to find
it in your bag. For the love of god, move to the side to work it out.
The middle of the walkway is not the place
to do this.
6. Stopping on stairs. Technically still a walkway, don’t
stop in the middle of a stair well or at the bottom of it to have a
conversation. People still need to go up and down, don’t make them have
to walk around as well. If they have to
ask you to move, you’re being a douche.
Seriously people, it’s just common sense.
