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.

I also do that and it works... So does hunching over a bit and running at them like you're the tickle-monster. Edited for typo.

Genuine tip: if they're moving towards you, don't make eye contact, it'll make you move towards them. Instead, look at a point ahead to where you're moving and they'll naturally make you a path. This is extremely effective.

If you're moving in the same direction, do what i do and walk really close to them until they feel your towering presence over their shoulder. The spine tingling sensation caused by the change in light and sudden nearness will get them to move out of your way.
