Human Chicken

Have you ever got really annoyed because you seem to be the only person on the street that's making an effort to move out of the way of oncoming people?

It can annoy me so much that i decide i'm no longer going to move for people just like they aren't for me. Human Chicken.
There's the car version, the doorbell version and now, the walking version.

The problem is, when i play human chicken, both the opposition and myself will be equally stubborn so we'll actually collide. When this happens i automatically feel like i have to say sorry even though it's a shared responsibility. I'd also just like to point out that the worst culprits for not moving on a street are elderly people and couples. So much so, they'd prefer you to walk around them on the road into oncoming traffic. Since when was there a hierarchy of who deserves to stay alive and safe on the path?

This is what found when i typed 'human chicken' into google...

  1. Pram pushers are the worst for this, fair enough though it is a lot more difficult for them to move rather than me. But it's the sheer aggression on their face that makes me want to challenge them for the pavement space.
