Walking

There are no traffic signs for and doors like there are for drivers. No little colored signs to tell walkers what to do and when, but it has come to be known that walkers follow the same basic rules as drivers. The law of driving on the right side of the road has been transferred to sidewalks, hallways and entering and exiting doors. When this common understanding of “the walking rules” is disrupted people often say rude things about the other person and give mean looks in their direction. It has been the unwritten rule to walk the same way the law is set up for driving. I challenge you to go out and walk differently; walk on the left side, backwards, or enter through the exit side. I bet you that you will receive several comments about your manners and looks that can sting you.
