MOVE OVER, on your left!!!

I'm trying to hold my tongue but it's getting nearly impossible, especially with my 2 week long PMS. There is a natural flow of traffic, usually stay to the right, you pass on the left, at least that's the rule on the road. It should be the same when on foot. I spend most of my life walking around to get place to place. I have no car so rely on my feet to get me wherever I'm going. People need to move over. You cannot take up the whole freaking sidewalk, hallway, whatever it may be. Yesterday on Charles Street, which yes I know is kinda narrow as it is and full of obstacles, I kept running into people that were walking towards me because they wouldn't move over to let me have space to pass. I refuse to move over if I'm taking up one normal-sized person's width on the right of the sidewalk and you're coming at me two or three across and are oblivious to me being there until I don't move out of your way and you think I'M rude and at fault when we collide, though it's due to your asshole-ness.

Or, people walk so fucking slow and take up the whole sidewalk or hallway and don't allow for anyone to pass on the other side or even for people walking faster to get around them. I was just walking down the hall at MIT behind three dorky boys making jokes about the law of conservation of mass, however funny that could be, unfortunately I couldn't enjoy the punchline because they were making me so angry by walking so slow and taking up the whole hallway. I had to just stop and waddle on behind them and watch as oncoming traffic had to bump into the big guy on the end because he would barely move over at all.

Next time I might have to start yelling out my frustrations. Just stay to the right, don't take up the whole space, walk single file if you have to in a narrow space if you're with people, just pay attention! Everyone is in their own little world most of the time, which is fine by me if you can at least pay attention to the big world we all have to share at the same time.
