I saw 3Ms come sailing in Dec 2023 10:14am, 12 Dec 2023 22,818 posts	Quote Pin I saw 3Ms come sailing in People who are waiting for a bus, and stand in the middle of a not-quite 2 person wide pavement whilst doing it. And apparently don't see the 80kg lump of person in bright clothing running towards them. [ Although I still enjoy watching (out of my peripheral vision) people wearing headphones as they amble along the pavement "jump" as I go past them! ]

They are always disappointed. Might be small, but my shoulder barge packs a wallop]

Even stopped, she still clearly expected me to shrink out of her way (so, into a literal wall). I hope she called me names. But my headphones block out that nonsense!]

Very frustrating.
