Etiquette walking on the pavement?
Advertisements
I hope I’m not going crazy – has anyone noticed more people (in particular boomers) charging directly towards you?
They might be refusing to walk on the side of the pavement with drain covers, or coming at you ferociously at an angle in the mrt station risking a collision.
I only noticed this as I recently sprained my toe. While I can mostly walk, it’s affecting my agility / ability to sharply change direction.
I had to come to a complete stop today while walking uphill and had some auntie curse at me (for presumably not giving way to her).

- If u don’t give way, u r being rude, and I also don’t need to be nice to rude people, so I also don’t give way. If u give way, then I no need to give way already. So in conclusion, there’s no need to give way.
- Boomers being entitled as per usual. Pay them no heed. Usually I’d just stick to the left side of the path same as how our roads are. I’ll only walk on the right if majority of the foot traffic is on the right
Personally for me if I’m walking in a straight line and someone is starting to walk into me I’d just stare and continue on. I’m a big guy though so that probably affects things. - It’s a game, first one to give way loses (jk).
Seriously though if anyone charge towards me, it’s their own risk. They will bounce off my fats and fall down. Happened to small kid before Liao. Heck my own sister ran towards me and her toe got fractured.
