Selfish couple underhill road

[adonirum]

Sorry, Louisa, don't know types/styles/makes of prams. I'm a bit of a golden oldie now and wouldn't know the first thing about them, other than it had four wheels ( I know some only have three) and had a child in it.

Hey, I've inadvertainly contradicted myself!!!

Nothing worth saying? Does that include the above comment? ;-)

Ha Ha! Glad it's not just me that gets annoyed at this. Some people are just rude, and some people just have no special awareness.

It's made worse when they don't bother to acknowledge the fact that you just moved.

[Louisa]

God I miss banter with SJ so much :(

[phobic3000]

Could you not have done this...

[NunheadRising]

Ha Ha what a wally. Getting annoyed by lack of pavement space. You must have a very relaxed life if this is the all you have to worry about.

[CocoC]

Hi Louisa, you'd hate me. I'm BUGABOO AND PROUD.

[????]

I'm thinking a fat couple with a bugaboo each and a takeaway pizza tucked under their arms snogging on Underhill Road would be fine and dandy for our Lou

Just because someone finds something irritating doesn't mean it's their most pressing concern. Weird - perhaps wallyish - idea !

[edcam]

Hmm. Lack of spatial awareness is annoying. I hate fat people who walk diagonally across the pavement swinging one arm for momentum.

[hpsaucey]

Sometimes I just 'opt out' if there's a group coming towards me taking up the pavement like the 'Magnificent Seven' and obviously going to carry on that way - I just stand still and let them sort themselves out around me. Stops them 'messin with my zen thing'.

lol often felt like doing this myself. It happens all the time on corner of Barry & P.Rye. They come off the road onto the pavement & don't get back on the road till they reach the crossing of P.Rye & ED Rd. Drives me mad!

Countdown to Lady Delilah and all cyclists good, all motorists bad nonsense.

Pedestrian bumper cars is fun ;)

Some people used to say the objective was to dodgem.

[Southeast Twenty Stu]

I genuinely can't remember the last time I had a cyclists come toward me on the pavement - yet some people on the forum appear to be encountering them daily. I don't get it.

[Nigello]

It happens at least twice a week to me in and around SE22/SE15 and at least once a week when I am in W1, WC1 etc. Perhaps I walk about too much and should stay in, leaving the pavements for the cyclists?

[Louisa]

I've come across selfish cyclists on the pavement, one chap, with a Camera attached to his helmet mind, forced a woman with a young toddler out onto the road because he refused to get off and move in a little and wait. Shocking behaviour. My street etiquette is spot on when it comes to moving out the way for disabled, disadvantaged or much older folk.

I walk and run around London a lot. I just can't believe that you have cyclists pass you on the pavement twice a week.

[Louisa]

I would estimate around 3/4 times a week in Camberwell/Denmark Hill, as with Nigello 1/2 times a week in Peckham/ED increasing to a staggering 5/6 times a week if I venture further into town which is rare these days, but when I did it was constant. Suffice to say, I didn't happen to me once in the Grove Park area of Bromley.

Ah, but how many fatties did you have to negotiate in Grove Park

[Nigello]

RRR - Today, Herne Hill at around 1600; last Wednesday, Old Vic; week last Saturday, N X Road (with baby in papoose around neck; fortnight ago, The Cut.... It happens a lot, and I always challenge them (and often get dull, predictable invective back: when people know they're wrong they tend to turn nasty).

[Earl Aelfheah]

Nigello are you sure you're not in fact walking in the road?
