Rules of the Sidewalk
#28
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.

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).

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

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.
