            Can't stand facebook.  I deleted mine in 2007.  It was good decision.

                What made me sit up and listen was when I was perusing the site with a mate and realised that the FB like button (on every product page) gets hit many more times than the twitter or the google ones.  That suggests to me that there are a load of people out their who  actually do like FB, so I'm doing my best to embrace it…...

                    I will agree with you there.  I am sure it will get you more coverage.

                      Alright, so people texting while driving is obviously a horrible idea, but I have run into a ridiculous amount of people lately who insist on texting while walking from place to place.

                      There they are walking through the hall texting, up the stairs texting, taking a shit texting.  Not only this, they are slow as hell doing it.  Apparently, to put that effort forth to the phone, it requires walking like an old person on ice.

                      I mean come on.  I am pretty sure you can put your phone down long enough to stop texting in order to walk from your desk to the bathroom.

                      Just because you want to look important on your phone does not mean I need to be 5 minutes late for a meeting.

                        I started to give people like that a straight elbow check. Shit is ridiculous in NY. Must smack 3-4 people a day just to and from work. Assholes

                          And I am only in Ottawa.  I can't even imagine the scale of this in NY Lando.  I feel for you.  Upon consideration, I may start the elbow check.

                              This is a weekly discussion between my friends and I here in NYC. Like Lando, I am a straight up asshole on the sidewalk. Unless you're elderly or a purty woman you are getting checked. It's astounding how many people can't grasp the concept of walking on your right side. That's the socially acceptable side to walk on here in America.

                              I've lived here over 5 years now and not too long ago I just got fed up with it. I don't move out of the way when I'm walking now. If they're not paying attention they get a very bad wake up call by getting hit with a short glass of 230lbs worth of IH gear saying "get the fuck out of my way motherfucker." It's the same reaction you'd give someone driving the wrong way on a one way street.

                              This comes to mind.

                                I equate that to groups of people at the mall that walk like 4 side by side and take up the whole walk way

                                And then when I say excuse me, they look at me like I'm stupid

                                  I do this with people bicycling on the sidewalk… I force 'm into incoming traffic... They always have the option of running straight into me but so far no one has done that... Must be my lovely boxer's mug...

                                    Oh man, this gets me more than anything. EVERY SINGLE DAY. Oh and who the fuck are the people who insist on walking side by side on a crowded sidewalk?!?! They get malled as well. I love yelling out, "This ain't fucking Europe Asshole, now move over."

                                          Like other Londoners, I do entertain the fantasy of those tourist lanes in busy areas. However, my problem lies with residents of London who don't have a feckin' clue how to move around a big city. You can't really fault tourists - they're from all over the world and have come to my city because it's incredible. I'm flattered so I give them a chance. If you live, work and commute in the city and still get in my way, it's time for some good old rudeness!

                                            Please do. Now, if I can only make a video of myself wearing all IH Armor and checking people while walking down the street. I think I would set it to Ludacris - "Move Bitch" 🙂
