ATTN ugly girls: You do NOT have the right of way

This blatant display of dellusion has bothered me for a long time, and I feel the need to vent about it. Basically, I'm talking about sidewalk etiquitte, or rather the lack of it, amongst the most vile segment of the population: ugly girls who don't realize they're ugly.

Firstly, some groundrules concerning sidewalk etiqutte from the POV of a dude:
  • If you are walking in one direction, and someone else is walking in the other, you each go off to the side to give each other plenty of room
  • If you are walking in one direction, and a preggo, baby carriage, cripple, blindy, etc. is coming in the other direction, they can take up as much of the sidewalk as they want and you should go off the sidewalk if needed
  • If you are walking slowly in one direction, and someone behind you is walking faster, MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY and let them pass, and vice versa
  • If you are walking in one direction and a group of people that look dangerous (punks, drunk hobos, the dutch) is walking in the other, you cross the street asap

Common sense, right? On the first point however there is a timeless exception: Hot women own the sidewalk, and if they so desire to go up the middle you veer off the sidewalk, and will be happy to do so. See exhibit A:

Why? Well, because they can get away with it, and because they're hot you don't think anything of it and as such it's ok. Unfortunately, it seems that many uglies have fostered the belief that they are actually attractive and as such able to demand the same treatment, forgetting that they are indeed hideous and deserve no special treatment from strangers based solely on their physical appearance. See exhibit B:

Often times the above happens, where an ugly/fat/fugly girl bypasses the rules of sidewalk etiquitee under the false belief that they are good looking and are allowed to hog the sidewalk. I used to just move aside myself, but no fucking more, they don't deserve it and there is no reason to degrade myself by giving them the right of way. My first act of rebellion happened earlier today when I was out on a run,and I was coming one way a behemoth of a girl was coming the other. Hideous pot hole of a face, massive gut, comitting an act of cruelty to a pair of lululemon pants, and walking in the middle of the sidewalk with o intnetion of moving aside as I quickly approached. Fuck it I thought, as I lowered my head and charged at full speed fully expecting to crash into a wall of fat, but at the last second she lurched aside, spilling some of her extra large slushie and grunting like a bull seal in heat. Pretty sure she called me an asshole as I continued past, but I didn't care, it felt awesome and I will do it again.

Will this thread achieve its purpose of making these women face reality? No, but if I can get even one gaffer to stop letting ugly girls degrade them, I will have done my job.

Lastly I must add that I have no problem with ugly girls themselve (infact my best friends are ugly girls), just those that don't know their place in the world.
 
I hate it when fat ugly chicks think they're hot or something. I just have to wonder what is going on in their heads. Ugh

especially when they're wearing super tight shirts and their belly hangs out. But i FUCKEN hate slow walking people.
 
Getting out the way of a hot girl is the wrong way to go.

Awkwardly, cutely dancing around eachother is the right way. I did such with a really cute girl, knowing she was in my evening class. I broke the ice with "Sorry I almost ran into you the other day!"

Now we is friends.
 
I kinda feel like a lot of adults don't have an spatial awareness. So many people don't let faster walkers pass them, don't budge over, stop and have conversations in the middle of sidewalks, halls, and even streets (no, you do not get to talk across the road to someone in another car). Even at a store, people with carts seem totally unaware that it's incredibly rude to slowly stroll through an aisle while there are people behind them. If you want to stop and take a look, pull over to the side.

The weirdest part about it is that it's a pretty fundamental human skill. Kids don't have it--they wander around bumping into people and things and don't notice or care about anything outside of themselves. But adults are supposed to get the skill.

Most of the time, the people aren't rude either. If you tell them, they'll immediately say "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, didn't see you there, didn't know you were trying to get by". It's just startling that they really weren't aware.
 
Shit happens on bikes too. You're on a road no cars are on, and fucking women that think they're hot shit or douchebag type-a men will be riding on the leftmost lane, the one that would normally be against traffic and is the side you're riding on because you're an intelligent human being that rides on the right side of the road. You just pedal forward thinking they can't be this fucking dumb, but they decide to play chicken with you. I don't budge. I'm not afraid of bike on bike crashes. I tape everything with a helmet cam anyway, so if they get so injured that they need to go to the hospital and police and cry about it, they have no good story.
 
Nobody should take up more than their allotted space on the pavement, aside from the groups mentioned in the OP - with the exception of hot girls, obviously. Too many hot girls are to vain for their own good. You're part of the problem, man, letting 'em walk zig-zags.

It's like Doctor Drew says, we're a society of narcissistic assholes. :|
 
i like to do the bittersweet symphony thing and just walk in a perfectly straight line regardless of what anyone else is doing. in the rare event that someone doesn't get out of my way i just do a last second shoulder dodge. it's fun, makes me look like a total fuckface, but whatever

ps: why would you cross the street ever? even in the event that the scary looking people are actually scary, wouldn't crossing the street just make you look like an easy target?

Those who do both at once, stopping in the middle of an aisle to talk to people they know, are the fucking worst.

I find it really hard to call people assholes or narcissistic because most of them mean well enough. Myopic might be a better world--most of them literally have no idea that they are inconveniencing others.

It's like a partial blindness of the brain or something. It really is absurd that a huge proportion of otherwise intelligent adults are lacking basic spacial awareness. I'm not a cognitive scientist or anything, but this should theoretically be a skill that we develop as we get better at reading sensory inputs from the world.

It really really shocks me.

I hate this too. I mean it's good that they're that proud of their bodies but damn.

And fuck you GAF, I am a slow walker. Now I will get in the way of all you just because I can.
 
Never really had a problem with this other than old people walking really slowly in the middle of the sidewalk, or a group of people walking in a fucking line taking up the whole damn sidewalk.

The one thing that gets me are the good looking girls that think it's cool to walk directly at you. Make no effort to move and when I do they hit me with there fucking purse. Seriously, what the fuck! This happens to me all the time in the mall and I want to say something so badly but i just keep on going. Probably will one day and make a big scene.

Fuck you good looking people that think they deserve more respect for no other reason than being gentle on the eyes. Your whats wrong with society.

Oh, and the slow walking thing, go the fuck around me. I'm on the side of the sidewalk, just walk around. I don't have eyes in the back of my head and I don't give a fuck what kind of a rush your in.

That whole section is gold, especially the bold.
 
nah, i'll gladly get out of the way of an ugly/fat chick. dont want to run into them and have them rub off on me.

i have no qualms w/ walking into hot chicks. a lot of em think they own shit anyway. bust em down a peg.
 
I do something like this with people who take up the entire sidewalk when I run. Instead of just charging straight on and hoping them move, I'll run at them and deke out of the way at the last second. That way I scare the shit out of them and I don't take the chance of actually running into them.

Edit: I still can't get over the 80's haircut the ugly girl has. :lol
 
Yeah, fat women are the worst. They usually think they're hot shit, with their super-tight clothes that show their fat cascading down. They also have the worst attitude: bitchy and whiny.

Know their place? What the fuck.

You must be one of those kids laughing at gender inequality photos and wife beating photoshops.
 
I just assume everyone is a useless rock when it comes to navigating spaces. I try to be like water and just flow around them. If I assume there is some sort of rules for walking and everyone is going to follow them correctly.. I'll just slam into people all the time. I assume people are idiots and adapt to that reality.
 
i hate hot girls in suits storming down the middle of pavement even though there is plenty of space who expect me to move out of their way when I am on the side and there is plenty of room for them to just move over slightly.

I just keep walking and they almost walk straight into you and then look REALLY pissed and mutter something unpleasant, as if the situation was reversed and I was the one that charged straight at them for no reason instead of moving a foot to one side.

i can understand that they are bitches and want the satisfaction of making people move out of their way, but actually acting like it is somehow their right is something i just cant understand.
 
The whole thing where you encounter someone and you both go the same way trying to get out of each other way is the best thing about pavements. A small giggle. Goes a long way man.
 
I don't move even for hot chicks.

However I do stay on my side of the sidewalk. I won't step off into the street or hug the wall if someone is charging towards me oblivious of their surroundings though.
 
The only thing worse than fat chicks walking in the middle of a sidewalk is fat chicks walking on "their left" of the sidewalk.

I do this, but I do the thing where I move a second and sometimes third time, so it looks like I'm trying to block their movement :lol I feel like such a prat afterwards
 
I usually just knock people the fuck out of the way. I'm on my side. Get on yours or face the consequences. Especially at clubs. Girls at clubs are pretty fucking annoying as well.

Yea, while hot chicks can do what they want, the ones that do follow the groundrules even though they don't have to are the best of the bunch

not all that common, though
