This is an awesome thread. For 2 reasons.

Firstly because I’ve worked in that same area for 2 years (80 broad street 2 blocks from NYSE) and I know exactly what you go through. I’ve been to alot of US cities and none compare to NYC when it comes to amount of foot traffic and rudeness of said people. Walking from Port Authority down 8th ave is just as bad, especially in the rain with all those umbrellas poking you. I say well done to you.

Second because the audio responses were awesome. The fact he dubbed the 1st one over his progress picture was pure genius. I bet he carries that shit in his wallet.[/quote]

yeah cause his 6lbs gain is so impressive.[/quote]

eh

Bro if you go by the numbers on the pics you are referring to, the ones comparing 204 and 210, it was not a straight gain.

I lost 30 lbs after taking the first picture then bulked back up. Some water weight sure.

Just clearing that up.

Everyone in that pic looks so unhappy, like they are being shuffled off to concentration camp.

I smile a lot, especially while walking through crowds of people. It always brightens me up anyway, and most people react nicely to it.

So…I am usually the type of person to give strangers their space and the respect I would like. Espescially when going to work. I work in downtown manhattan which is a real rat race, usually on my way to my mind numbing job, I dodge umbrellas, speeding women, strollers, cell phone talkers…and you get the point.

It seems like I am always walking sideways. Im not the smallest guy in the world so I dont want to plow into someone, I dont want to be an asshole, yet somehow I always seem to be making the first move to get out of the way.

Yesterday, was a tremendously shitty day in NYC rainy and windy, umbrellas were jacking me, and as usual here I am trying to be courteuous, this one middle - aged corporate type guy, as I was trying to get out of the way FUCKING plowed into me, actually caught me off guard, and as usual he sped away. I stopped, thought about confronting him and thought better of it, cuz Im not 20 Im 34. But I did tell myself if I saw him again I was gonna hip check him like I was Darius Kasparitus!

I got my wish…Chambers street and Broadway, perfect timing. He was looking down seemingly unaware of what was coming, his brooks brothers suit was staring at me and coming closer, I sped up like Chris Johnson hitting a hole…BAMMMMMM I FUCKING FLOORED HIM! ASS FIRST! LOOKED DOWN AND SAID THATS FOR YESTERDAY, SHOW SOME RESPECT! (he didnt say a word)…IT FELT GOOD TO TAKE THE LOW ROAD FOR ONCE!

Now I will go back to avoiding people and being the courteous person that I have become, but it felt good to give some fucktard what he had coming.

99% of people are just low animals anyway. The law of Large Numbers is on your side.

But I’m polite more for myself than for the animals. I’m better than them because courtesy is outside their consciousness.

I seem to remember you giving me a lecture years ago that such acts of submission was beta male behavior. You know, stuff like getting your dumb ass out of the left lane when someone wants to go faster than you? Remember the thread?

Bro I got called out and I spent 30 seconds recording a response to back up my shit. I have a youtube channel and a microphone, why not use it.

hardly shocking in 2010 IMO

So, you felt the need to defend an off hand internet insult about stuttering with a proof-of-life I don’t stutter video? Dude, cut the marionette strings from your hands and feet.

Damn… I had typed a post on here and it got lost in the ether.

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!

There is a trick to door opening. Match your pace to theirs as you approach the door, and then only hold the door open as long as you can while only slightly slowing your pace but no stopping. This way, you’re the one who held the door open, they’re the douche who sailed through. If they get smashed in the side of the face or something equally as hilarious, you held the door open, so it’s their fault.

173

wow…I even stutter whole posts!

That would mean that at least a good portion of posters here are low animals. I don’t think so.

I stopped caring about this shit when I started lifting weights. I used to never give an inch to anybody (major little man syndrome), walking into people, big or small, left and right. Now, like the OP, I usually go out of my way to avoid hitting people.

That said, I do have my pet peeves with regards to this stuff and still brace myself and stick my shoulder out a little if the situation warrants it. The worst is getting off a bus / train. When 60 people are coming off at a station, and the stupid fucks boarding don’t have enough sense to wait until everybody’s out before they flood the doors, I just lean in and walk through people.

I’m in Brazil right now, and over here, everybody is steadily barging into people, especially us gringos. No quarter given. Whereas in Southeast Asia, the locals usually stop, step out of the way and wave you past.

As far as asshole moments, I’ve had a few. Like flooring the fucker that spat in the face of a fellow bouncer, cuffing him, and, as he’s on his belly on the wet pavement, lean down and hark up an otherworldly phlegmy loogie, planting it in his fucking eye. Felt great. I don’t regret that shit for a second.

I’m glad I’m not a woman, because there are some confused little men inhabiting this world judging by the replies. Any way…your last described asshole moment was no asshole moment at all - it was just and equitable. And if someone spit in anyone’s face I work with, we’d have whipped that ass. I can’t believe grown men actually go around bumping into each other. Smells like high school around here. Sounds like a lot of you were bullied when you were younger.

Or extremely sheltered. I’ll wager that the majority of the cock suckers here who seem to think a retaliatory shoulder barge (because as the OP has already said, that is what is was intended to be) was over the top were never exposed to anything mommy might have deemed dangerous.
