No, I’m not complaining about taking a “walk on the wild side”. I’m complaining about walking on the wrong side of wherever you are walking.
Walking is like driving. Unless you are walking down a street that people can drive on (where you are supposed to walk facing oncoming traffic), walk on the same side you drive. That’s not hard to remember and it’s not hard to do.
If you’re in the U.S. like me, walk down the right side of the hallway or sidewalk. Don’t be a jackass and think you’re cute just because they don’t have lines or laws about where to walk. I get the whole individuality thing as much as the next guy, but walking down the wrong side of the hallway is not making much of a political or artistic statement. It’s just jumbling things up.
If you come around a corner in a hallway and you see someone coming at you, veer to the right. Things will magically fall into place. You’ll be amazed how well things can work by keeping it simple like this.

You are right! I don’t get why when two people come to a point where they have to go around one another, most people I run into go to the LEFT…is that what they do when the drive…move into oncoming traffic?
Move to the right!
I stop when people come toward me on the “wrong-side.” What often happens is that they stop too and expect me to go around them. How difficult is it to walk on the right side? These people are so arrogant that they think they are more important than everyone else and people need to get out of their way. Makes me want to smack them.
