Walking - the various social tendencies

I'm not sure if it's just me, but at least once every single day of school, walking around campus, there will always be a black person in my way. Examples include going up steps, then just stopping in the middle, blocking both sides of traffic (roughly twice a week). Some will also stop cars and bikes. Some will also complete clog up hallways or other paths and you'd be better off finding another path around the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Anyway, I'm usually a peacemaker. I'll stay to the right side usually. When a conflict is about to occur, I try to make the other person figure out what to do. I'm usually walking with my PMP and Ultimate Ears earphones, so I can't hear anything but my music. So I'm always aware, but I just try to act like I'm not.

My other friend has a tendency to always play defense when he's walking. He's always boxing out, forcing people into walls and the grass of sidewalks... and the roads...

How ya doing, buddy?
