absolutely this
in my research I have concluded that this is completely connected to people being stupid and not paying attention to the world around them.

Similar things include: people driving badly, women with pushchairs/trolleys barging past you while shopping.

Occasionally I decide not to get out of the way when walking down the street and see how many people bump into me. It's usually lots. I'm bigger than most people, so they usually end up on the floor.

I do this
and I would say that at least 19 times out of 20, the people I've barged into apologise. That just makes them even more fucking stupid.

NOTE: If they apologise sarcastically, I always make a point of saying sweetly, 'That's OK, don't worry,' because that makes them even angrier. This applies to all sarcastic apologies.

Thank you!
Women with pushchairs! Just because you heaved some monstrous little cretin out of your vag doesn't give you some sort of KEY TO THE ENTIRE PAVEMENT! Get out of my way horrible women and take your devil spawn with you!!

I have a sollution to the whole Oxford Street People Standing Still thing.
People Lanes, with an advertisment campaign.

Where if you wish to stand still or stop, that's fine, as long as it's not in a person-lane, like a bike-lane.

It's simple like the whole "Draw a box around a cashpoint to indicate a 'please stand back'" thing.

I'm dead clever, me, I should be up for awards.
