Without even realizing it, most will notice where your gaze is and will avoid crossing past it. As you approach someone, look to the right of them and they will veer automatically towards your left side as they pass. <BR/><BR/>I've found it usually works except for the totally oblivious (i.e.: slow-moving tourists, teenagers, etc.).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263715227131033919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391381303418509265.post-86969305435037004462008-05-28T07:59:00.000+01:002008-05-28T07:59:00.000+01:00Thanks for the tip! didn't know this - we don't "...Thanks for the tip! didn't know this - we don't "walk" anywhere in Houston, ever.

I am so tired of playing chicken with people on the sidewalk who always want to walk on my side! As if it's a battle of the wills.

It just makes the whole sidewalk thing so much simpler.<BR/>Lisa & AlfieLisa & Alfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537412035331762952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391381303418509265.post-86950180464232064222008-05-23T23:46:00.000+01:002008-05-23T23:46:00.000+01:00E&EL - only if that is her only job...}E&EL - only if that is her only job...}HOBAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354831628721898035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391381303418509265.post-67140855676080535682008-05-23T23:27:00.000+01:002008-05-23T23:27:00.000+01:00oh HOBAC, I hesitate to ask as I fear that the ans...oh HOBAC, I hesitate to ask as I fear that the answer will be "...teaching..?
