Went to the fair this weekend. Got to the arena to watch the sheep dog demo oh 30 mins early and secured a spot up front. When the demo started, some woman came up behind me and asked me to move so her kids could take my place because they're short and I'm tall and can't see. I took a half step to the left as a courtesy. 2 minutes later, another woman comes up and says "Can you sit down we can't see past you you're blocking the show." I got p*ssed and left. I should have told them both to go @!$##@%^, if they wanted a good spot they should have showed up sooner etc. etc.
I'm 6'2" and 300# if they bounce a cart off my ankles on purpose it won't end well. No trouble there
Walking around before that, no one moves over in a narrow walk-if you don't get out of their way they bump into you and look shocked you were there. At work however this isn't a problem-the people in manufacturing/ clean rooms are all courteous. It's the uneducated public that ticks me off.
Bikes or cycles filtering through traffic don't bother me, I ride and understand. As long as they're not holding up traffic they can zip by my car at 3" any day all day.
Traffic here is insane-I can't wait to move out of the city. Don't even get me started on that one, I'm looking forward to my 150dB horn installation.
