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.
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."

I hate that as well. Maybe I should change the perceptions that Canadians are timid…...

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"

The only rule I really stick to is to pass on the outside of the pavement when it's a woman or elderly person coming the other way. My mum taught me this when I was a kid and I still do it.

True story about why we English drive on the left, it is because Knight used to hold their Lance in their right hands for jousting.

Also, spiral stairs descend anti-clockwise because then the person defending the stairs could use their sword right-handed against an ascending foe. history geek

I like the turn this has taken because I also do not understand the people who don't walk on the right side of the sidewalk or walk side by side taking up the whole walkway. To me, these things are common sense. Do they not realize they are being ridiculously rude?
Lando if you need help making the video, let me know.
Glad to vent this. I feel better now, and I think I have developed some strategies to deal with it.
That being said, I am always satisfied when one of the dumb jerks then drops their phone and I see a broken screen. I literally laugh out loud at them.

Ouch, how did you do that?
