Walking down the sidewalk, keeping with the flow, and somebody walking the opposite direction insists on passing on the left. I'm like FUCK, we pass on the right in America bitch. Apply the general rules of the road to walking for the greater good people.

Pretty sure he means in the opposite direction. As always, I could have my HUMA, so take it with a grain of salt.

What if someone passed by you while walking backwards...Which side should they be on?

In North Carolina we pass on the right, because the left lane is for Asians, teens, or people who don't know what the fuck is going on in life.

Left, right, it's all a matter of perspective. Like a car. When you are driving the car, you're sitting on the left side. But when you are looking at the front of it, the driver sits on the right. Oh shit, I just call it the driver's side and passenger's side, because then it's unambiguous.

If you are walking, you walk toward oncoming traffic. If you are biking you go the same direction as the traffic... Given their relative speeds walking and riding being similar, I would think you would bike against traffic, but that might make too much sense.

I don't think there are 'rules' of walking, but in Walmart, if I'm pushing a cart, I pass them on their fucking left side. When I pass someone I do it properly, with signals like such:

UncleWede · 11-14-2014, 09:14 AM

I can understand being in Walmart with a camera, but not with a cart. You are one of THEM???

squishy · 11-14-2014, 09:41 AM

When my dumbass let's my dumbass roommate barrow my new car to use to take the driver's test, and scuffs the fucking wheel. Don't know who the bigger idiot is, me for letting him use my car, or him for being a shitty driver. FUCK.

Billup · 11-14-2014, 10:07 AM

Life lesson; Don't let anyone drive your car.

I let the mechanic I worked with at the auto repair shop use my Rsx one day to go to a funeral. Somehow he managed to get it towed and taken to jail.

His wife and two little girls were also on the very first episode of "Hardcore Pawn"...,

I should have known better.

Correct, I stated opposite direction. IE we drive on the right side of the road here. So this goes to people who feel the need to squirm by oncoming people on their right. Right side of the sidewalk for a better day all.

Depends if they are wearing their clothes backwards or not.

When you see someone casually strolling around in their pajamas. Mind you this is dead smack in the middle of the day inside a mall in a ritzy area. Pink pants and fuzzy slippers. All she needed was her teddy bear.

2011CrazE89 · 11-14-2014, 12:24 PM

When you have an itch on your back that you can’t quite get to. The itch was so bad that I grabbed the first thing I could get my hands on to lengthen my reach. In this case it was a pen. I was so anxious to relieve myself of this irritation, that I forgot the cap was off.

GB-335xiCoupe · 11-15-2014, 07:42 AM

What gets to me:
Jackass who turns like red arrow. Fucks up the guy turning like green arrow. Unless you're driving a big rig, turn like the blue arrow, and THEN make a lane change if you need to be in the right lane.
The other day, some bitch driving a small car decided to try turning like the orange arrow while I turned like blue arrow, and proceeded to make gestures and yell at me. As if I had cut her off! What a stupid ass.

M_Six · 11-15-2014, 07:53 AM

I think in most states the car making the right always has right of way over a car making a left. But your point is still valid. When there are two lanes, you should turn into the closer lane.

Correct on both counts, but I believe the orange arrow turn, is illegal. At least in WI, I consider it a lane change within an intersection which is definitely illegal.
The red arrow turn is legal, but is still inconsiderate.

Billup · 11-15-2014, 08:21 AM

Driving to work this morning. 5 lane road. I'm in the left lane northbound. Pass a Sheriffs truck, notice old van in front of him going 10mph under the speed limit. I get up next to the van and this fucker starts veering into my lane right into my fucking car!

The whole time the Sheriff is watching, and what do they do? Nothing. This guy is driving like a fucking nut and this guy just goes around him.

So if I weren't paying attention this idiot would have ruined my morning.
