That's Why They Call It A SideWALK

Does it strike anyone else as odd when a group of folks (usually young and white) will stand on a sidewalk, seemingly unaware of the foot traffic around them? They appear to be especially fond of clustering in areas of ingress/egress.

I'm curious to know if it's really self-centered oblivion or just some of that passive-aggressive behavior that I attribute to this particular subset of peeps. "Notice me!"

Sometimes, I will skirt around them. On other occasions, I plow through. In both cases, I am irritated.

  1. These fine folks are engaging in what is termed "the right of the people peaceably to assemble" in the First Amendment. Sure, democracy can be annoying.
