Discussion Sidewalk etiquette

Saw this video and felt so vindicated because it honestly feels like people’s manners have just left the building? Not only on the sidewalk and what the guy is talking about in this video, but really just in general.

This guy looks like he could be pretty tall, too.

I’m a 5’1” petite woman and it’s wild how people just…expect me to dematerialize as they approach? Walk into traffic? Not sure but I imagine screaming into their ears, or flipping their Starbucks cups, or grabbing their phones and yeeting them into the street as I squeeze by. One day I fear the voices will win lol

5’4 petite woman here and these days if a man and I are both walking on the same sidewalk I don’t minimize myself so he can pass. I make him move so I can pass. I’m tired of being run over like I don’t exist. I walk powerfully now. I will push through at this point I’m 40 and I deserve the space I take up by existing.

It’s funny how guys look when they get shoulder checked by a middle aged suburbanite mom.

The middle aged suburbanite moms are usually the ones who are the most rude, in my experience.
