Indian file? OMG, your inner dinosaur is showing.

Indian files are now used by call centers.

What does Last of the Mohicans have to do with anything? This is weird.

Hilarious.

A modified version should be posted for each major city: Paris, London, Rome, etc.

Thank you Pintxos, royalties gratefully accepted.

The other day, I was walking down 45th St when I was blocked by four nannies (?), teacher's aides (?) or kidnappers, each wheeling gigantic "strollers" that held four, and in one case FIVE children. I think they should be banned under an anti-child-pollution ordinance.

They have strollers these days that are part of the program of the Defense Department where they sell tanks and armored cars to local police.

Those "egg carton" transporters are very handy for multiple kids in day car or pre-school. But they definitely don;t belong on 45th St.

And I have been run into a couple of times by frenzied moms pushing the tank strollers. One hit my ankle so hard it started to bleed. When I complained she told me I should get out of her way (we were walking at a good pace - apparently she wanted to job - which is for the park -not city streets).

So we're anti- tourists, lovers, people with children, people with umbrellas and texters. I don't think I know anybody that doesn't fit into at least one of those categories.

We forgot to include elderly people with their walkers.

Today I saw a new one -- a woman talking over Skype or FaceTime while walking down the street and taking an apparent selfie. Unfortunately, she did not fall down and break her neck (as far as I know).

To me, this does not bode well.

This is too funny! I walk from GCT to Lincoln Center everyday, the morning is great as I get into the city at 7:20 while most of the tourists are asleep and I actually get 5th Ave to myself, but the evening walk back has been horrendous, I think I've taken out at least a dozen or more tourists in the past week or so! Most of the time I feel like a salmon swimming upstream

Thank you. Please do not kill too many tourists, they are good for the local economy.

Won't help. In my city it's 25% who don't know the rules, and 75% who ignore them, but the result is the same.

These rules should apply in any city not matter the size and grocery stores. I work in a small town that encourages riding your bike. My handbag has been knocked off my arm twice but a bike rider that like to ride on the sidewalk next to the buildings at 30 miles per hour.
