C’MON GUYS, WALKING on the footpath is not that hard.
In case you find it slightly difficult, we propose this simple charter be signed and agreed to by all.
1. Keep up with the pace
Slow walkers PLEASE be aware of those walking behind you and keep in single file. There’s nothing worse on this planet than being stuck in a sandwich behind slow walks and in front of people trying to walk fast.
NOTHING.
2. Don’t expect double buggies to just jump out of your way
Just this once, you should overtake them or move aside. It’s for your own sake.
3. Don’t use a single buggy as a weapon
With the buggy, comes great responsibility. Don’t abuse it.
4. Maps are not made to be opened on a small path
Duck into a doorway, preferably one back in the 90s when big maps were actually a thing.
5. A dead stop may result in a dead person
Oh that’s fine, we wanted to trip over your heels anyway.
6. Let go of your partners hand for like ONE MINUTE if approaching others
God forbid the chain would be broken. Let’s not make this a game of Red Rover.
7. Be considerate of how many people are walking abreast
Don’t let it resort to this.
8. Don’t exit a shop and stand at the door pondering your next move
If you do, your next move is for us to crash into you.
9. Go to your right if you’re about to collide
Most people are right handed, so it’s simple logic. Never do the awkward dance again.
10. Chatting on street corners is strictly prohibited
Chat while you walk, or move aside. IT’S NOT THAT HARD.
11. Texting while walking is reserved for those who know how
It can be done. It’s not advised, but it can be done. Just don’t do it if you have absolutely no co-ordination.
