Then again, I am the type of person who walks in a crowded area and pretty much refuses to budge my walking line.
I used to not be until one day I noticed people would head start towards me and I would always be the one to tuck my shoulder in to keep from hitting them. One day it really pissed me off, so now when I walk and someone heads towards me, I will not tuck my shoulder in. I have walked right into people before because I refuse to budge.
The more crowded the area is the more of an asshole I get with this. Me and the wife was at downtown Disney about a year ago and some fast paced jerk came strutting towards me and I could tell that like me, he wasn't going to move. So as we drew closer I tightened up my shoulder and when he walked into me I threw it forward a bit, almost spun him 180 degrees lol
Now if it's a woman or a child, by all mean, I'll duck out of the way because chivalry. But if your a ddue, fuck off, you go around.
In life, you're often given two choices. One of them is often being the better person. It is a bit weird to know that you're so upset over two-three people who refused to move/didn't notice, that you will literally bump into people.
If I had you do that to me IRL (which apparently, you wouldn't, because women are weak and god forbid you hit one of them with your shoulder ALTHOUGH they're being completely rude by not stepping aside when you're walking in their direction), I think I would stop you and ask for an apology. And maybe apologize myself if I didn't notice.
This said, no callout, since I usually stop people in the street who bump into me without apologizing. I rarely start fights, I just politely ask for an apology. It happens a lot, and most of the time, it's from people who know exactly where they're going. If they didn't notice, most of the time, they apologize, though.
People being rude isn't cool, I guess. It's super hard already to live in crowded places, sometimes...
