Not that I am being bitchy--well, maybe--but I am used to this happening in Manhattan, where it is inevitable. But in beautiful, quiet downtown Bay Ridge?
It seemed to me like everywhere we walked yesterday, people were blocking our way. The worst are these moms with oversized baby carriages, toting kids who are obviously too old to be riding in these carriages, even though they may still fit in them. How many times have I wanted to scream my frustration but don't, simply walking around them and speeding up the pace? When the person in front is elderly, there is a little compassion for them, but these entitled moms with their oversized brats, and gangs of teens or whatever group is trolling all feel as though they are the only ones in the world, and that really gets my goat, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sidewalk is for everyone, thus the name. So, people if you are out walking, be aware of those in front of you, and behind you.
It is not a race. But others besides the you-know-who-you-are's- may have places to get to, or exercise to do.
Watch it, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen!! And I’ll add to that, dogs on too-long leashes.
Also bikes & e-scooters have no business on sidewalks.
Victoria, I cannot tell you the number of times I have almost been run down by sidewalk bikes and e-scooters!
