Anyways, I fucking hate cities, and this is one major reason, if I passed somebody walking in my town and they bumped me, there would be a fight right on the spot, there is nothing unintentional about it. When you are walking and you bump someone it is on purpose if where you walk there are normally people around and you just ignore that fact. In any event the few times I have walked a busy city I just pretend the idiot walkers are like an agility course.

Tdub:
I was intending to bump him hard, like he bumped me, now he happened to fall which was an added bonus!
I hate when you’re walking down the sidewalk and there’s a column of people walking side by side and take up the entire sidewalk. I’m still a small guy so every time I thought I’d see if they would get out of my way, never happens. It just astounds me how often this happens and i see it happen to other people as well. Bah
I’m kinda surprised to hear from some of the bigger guys on here saying that people don’t get out of your way… When I was in my late 20’s I weighed 240 at 5’11" (I was a front rower for a D1 rugby team) and when ever I walked through a place, people parted like the Red fucking Sea!
Even now, at ~200 I’m not a “big” guy anymore, but I’m not small either and I hardly ever get disrespected… That’s not to say I don’t yield when appropriate, but I don’t ever “get out of someone’s way”. I’ll yield 50% and turn my shoulder away and they generally do the same and if an “incidental contact” occurs, it’s on them. (speaking of other “alpha” men, not women or old ladies - I’m that guy that will ACTUALLY walk an old person across the street, and hold the door for women, etc…)
But when I DO get bumped into when it could have been avoided, I ALWAYS call them on it: “Hey, watch where the FUCK you’re going!”. Perhaps not the wisest move, but it’s always out of my mouth before my “higher self” kicks in (damn Charm City upbringing!) However, no one has ever NOT given me an apology…
In my opinion, you should have handled it at the time of the incident and not relied on luck to bring him to you the next day (not saying he didn’t get what he deserved, but waiting a day kinda made you the asshole).
But a day late is better than a dollar short! LOL I’m sure it felt good and the look on his face must have been priceless! I bet he didn’t even have the balls to look you in the eye… That being said, I’m sure you’ll handle it better next time.

As a woman I will try to avoid people but mostly it seems that people do avoid me so chivalry isn’t dead.
What bugs me also is if I am holding the door open and I don’t let it slam shut on someone they don’t even acknowledge that I held the with so much as a nod much less than a thank you. And the worst offenders are the groups of teenagers, or women and they sail through all of them chattering away and not one of them says a word or does a head nod. It is habit to hold the door, but I do wish I would let it go and let them fend for themselves.
I also hate when people leave their shopping carts next to my car. I normally park next to the cart return anyways so how lazy do you have to be to not put that away!

Its funny you mention this, I was reading an issue of Glamour Magazine (please dont ask why) and there was an actual small article advising women to stand there ground and wait for men to get out of their way first, as too many times women are the first to get out of the way,

I have almost never had to worry about men not stepping aside, except for a particular occasion a couple months ago walking to a class on a two-person-wide sidewalk. Guy (douchey-looking, it should be noted) and a girl were coming in my direction. The guy is on the side I’m walking on (my right, his left), and so common courtesy would dictate that he move to his right behind or in front of his companion for a moment so I could pass.
I realize, as they get very close, that he has no intention of moving, despite clearly seeing me coming towards him. I am not terribly intimidating, but I know the power of surprise, and his lack of courtesy is irritating, so I decide in that split second that I’m not going to move, and educate this guy on how two-person sidewalks are meant to work.
Yes, I wrapped my arm more securely around the heavy nutrition books I was carrying, and smashed directly into his left side. He had no idea it was coming, and stumbled backward. I kept walking.
/cool story, bro - wait, what?

Your right, I probably should of handled it that day, but like I said he caught me off guard and kept on walking. To me it was divine intervention that I met up with him again, who knows maybe Ill see him again.

Don’t have a big enough butt? Just kidding, that is kind of rude. I always put down the seat, mostly because I piss outside.

You were reading an issue of Glamour Magazine? I gotta ask why.
Why do they want women to hold their ground? Is there like a giant tally board in the universe?
but usually, most folks seem to be considerate, it is me walking towards another woman where I have to channel my inner Butkus (cuz he rules)

Nah, I was already a few yards away…all I saw was that they had both stopped, and seemed surprised, possibly a bit incredulous. I was quite cheerful in experimental foods that morning, lol.

The author was alluding to her experience that she always felt like she had to make to the first effort when getting out of a mans way, now I always will get out of the way of a woman, but she had different experiences.
As far as the glamour thing, I used to work a part time gig as a security guard for a building, and they would always have magazines, usually of the cosmo, glamour ilk. The job was like watching paint dry, so I one time picked up an issue of glamour. Truth be told, I was fucking hooked, some of the articles were so hilarious and stupid, the quizzes were great time wasters, and the “wear this, not that section” was awesome! I dont read it anymore…I swear…lol

Well, I’d give you a slap on the ass for holding my door open, ma’am. 
And the shopping cart thing pisses me off too especially when I park in the very front and I see 15 carts as I walk my cart back to the cage.

You dont need to defend yourself to this clown.
Im from NYC. Anyone who hasnt been to NYC, especially the area youre talking about, cant say shit.
If its not a clueless suit its a mom with a triple wide baby carriage on her cell phone looking into the clouds or a small asian woman with two 10 gallon garbage bags full of plastic bottles attached to a pole strapped over her shoulder pushing a shopping cart full of more bottles or kids on skateboards. It a never ending obstacle course. Just go all Juggernaut on them next time
