I was an Atomic Robot Jungle Vixen!

The operative syllable in "sidewalk" is "walk." Don't stand there with your family or friends yakking it up and expect the person you see walking along to have to move off the sidewalk. If you are coming up a set of stairs or an escalator in a public place and you see someone you know, don't stand there blocking access to all the other people who need to go up or down.
I've been seeing more and more of this lately, and it's pissing me off. I have a message for the people who do this... THE WORLD DOESN'T FUCKING REVOLVE AROUND YOU! MOVE YOUR DAMNED ASS OUT OF THE WAY! Your friendly chats aren't that all-important that it's okay to inconvenience everyone else.
This also goes for people who are walking on sidewalks or in the mall side-by-side. Ohhhh! You're all together! I don't fucking care. I just want to get by on the way to my destination. I shouldn't have to step off into the mud because you can't stand stepping behind your partner for a couple of seconds waiting for you all to turn into a store because you're one big jolly loving group. Get over yourselves.
Could you imagine if people drove on the roads like they walk on sidewalks or in malls? Lines of cars stretched across every lane going in one direction at 20 kph just so people can have nice little conversations? How about coming across cars of people they know and stopping so that other drivers would have to go up on the sidewalks? It's not going to happen. We have and need traffic laws for a very good reason... people are self-centered jerks.
