I can't stand it when I'm walking on the sidewalk, and someone is walking towards me (in a group or alone), and they are completely unaware of their surroundings. Usually they are wearing headphones and oblivious of the world around them, and I end up having to move around them to avoid a collision (I end up on the grass for a few steps around them). I've tried being the one who doesn't move, and I end up running into these people because they aren't looking ahead of them to see if they are in someone's way. This PISSES ME OFF, because it's very inconsiderate.
I second that. But f##k them I say. If I've moved 75% out of the way then I've done my bit. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a bump. Especially if it's a bunch of young brats walking along deliberately like they own the footpath.

Also - some people will just walk around the corner, on the opposite on the RHS (we drive on LHS) and expect me to jump out of the way for them. Why?
