Impatience Leads To Rage On Sidewalks, Too


So ask yourself, honestly, if you regularly engage in this sampling of bad pedestrian behaviors, adapted from Dr. Leon James’ full list:

1. Have denigrating thoughts about other pedestrians.
2. Act in a hostile manner (staring, presenting a mean face, moving faster or closer than expected).
3. Fail to yield to another pedestrian when it’s the polite thing to do.
4. Walk by a slower moving pedestrian and cut back too soon.
5. Mutter at other pedestrians.
