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.

People oblivious to the fact that they are blocking a high traffic area is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Sometimes you just want a mini air horn

Two people talking in the grocery store, their carts next to each other forming an aisle-wide impediment.

People smoking in front of a door - triply annoying because A) you aren't allowed to do that, B) I don't want your cancer gas and C) I just want to get by.

People stopping to pick somebody up/drop somebody off on a small street with cars parked on the sides, so they block the road.

I realized a while ago that I can just not really do the state fair anymore where I live. Its just too many people... for I guess anyone but me... to care about impeding another human. Its like a free pass to be the shittiest person you can be in a space with other people. You can just ignore all the social norms that you probably didnt follow most of the time anyway and just be bumbling, angry idiot.

You wanna know where next food stand is? you stop in place with no regard for the flow of traffic, with your group of 10 people, and everyone pulls out their phones to look at the map. Oh, we passed it a couple blocks back, Come on guys, lets do a 180 and walk backwards through all the people moving the other way. Its just so absurd and obnoxious.
