Do you ever find yourself walking on the sidewalk, perhaps listening to your ipod? Maybe you're one of those people that hum or lipsync every tune you hear. You're walking, perhaps trotting, or for the really hyper or.... special people, skipping along as if you were a leprechaun, and you realize that someone is walking towards you. However, that person does not sway to the left or to the right to avoid you. That person just keeps walking straight towards you, as if you're a deer and they the 2 ton Jeep mobile. You frown, contorting your face into the "I'm seriously distressed at your ignorance and stupidity for not getting out of my way" expression and let the oncoming person see it clearly. By this time the distance between you and the obnoxious stranger is at an arm's distance. You sigh, and take a side step to the left. However, as if trying to play one of those trick psychological games on you, the person opposite you also takes a step to the right, which lands both of you in the same situation 2 seconds ago, only this time at less than an arm's length. You must realize that when you and the person took those side steps, it was more a diagonal step then a complete step to the side. You try to smile, which comes out more like a lion bearing its teeth, and take a step to the right. The person opposite you, as if trying to turn you towards the dark side, takes a step to the left, leaving both of you yet again, in the same situation. It takes couple of tries before finally, you step one way and the person opposite you takes a step OPPOSITE of yours, which finally lets both you and the person whom-by-this-moment-you-wish-to-punch continues towards your destinations. So, what should you do next time you find yourself in this kind of situation?
1. Scream at the top of your lungs and fling your arms around as if you've suddenly been stricken with an uncontrollable seizure. No, this is not from personal experience.
2. Headbutt. Always a good way to really make a good "headstrong" first impression.
3. Push the person aside. Only do this if you are absolutely sure that you are bigger than the person.
4. Just stop moving. The person opposite you is bound to walk around you.
