ROFL Tybur!!! But, in true What style, you should be, instead of punching them, pistol whipping them with the butt of Desert Eagle and as they fall to the ground, warn them of the impending real estate implosion 🙂 ARMAGEDDON IS COMING!!!
We don’t realize how many unwritten rules we have for NYC walking. William Whyte wrote about this once. The way we unconsciously twist our torsos on a 45 degree angle to squeeze by each other through tight spots, the speed we walk, how many across, the lanes we fill, etc. The tourists know none of this and gum up everything. But yes, good to have them here spending $$.
And there should totally be separate sidewalks for the looky-loos and those just trying to get somewhere. I’ve always fantasized about elevated walkways above every sidewalk…ahh to dream.
Oh, and pool party at arkady’s!!!! Break out the spiked watermelon.

Any other unwritten rules worth noting?
Love it, Arkady! I’d love to see that done on all sidewalks! Of course I’m sure the dawdlers would cross over anyway…sigh.
I like to punch tourists in the face and say, “Hey dickhead, Welcome to friggin’ New York.” I’ve been going to The What’s Training Camp.
Here’s the link to the tourist/native sidewalk:

M4L, I don’t even bother to turn to see their faces…I just keep going and leave them in my dust 🙂

Snappy, do you give them the “What?!! What??!!” intimidating look when they give you the “Hey, watch who you shoving?!!!”?
