The Pedestrian Aggressiveness Scale
“This scale can indicate how aggressive you are as a pedestrian and what type of pedestrian personality makeover you need. Ask yourself how many of these bad pedestrian behaviors apply to you on a regular basis.” I exhibit nearly all 15 behaviors, you?
I know, right? Now tell your friends!

curtiss3 2 years agoTypical nonsense from the therapeutic “all actions are equally valid” crowd. So if I have a problem with people walking 4 abreast and talking during rush hour or people running into me or walking slow because they are looking down at their phone, I have a disorder? That’s crap. Whoever came up with this has obviously never tried to walk in downtown Chicago. There can be rudeness on both ends of the spectrum, but that doesn’t mean those of us who get pissed because we are actually trying to get somewhere have a problem. That’s a normal reaction.

countchocula 2 years agoUm, how else should one walk? Should we walk like those whose only walk is from their SUV parked in the closest spot in front of the supermarket? Huh, what is this? My legs are moving and carrying me forward! Big building! Let’s stop and chat in the middle of the sidewalk! No one who walks could possibly be in a hurry… otherwise they would drive! /rant. fucking people who don’t know how to walk.

Seriously, if you don’t do at least 13 out of 15 I have probably fantasized about pushing you into traffic (but not stopping abruptly because there is literally no excuse for that shit.)

secretpizzas 2 years agoi think because i live in New York, and i’m a very angry pedestrian who walks really fast and constantly thinks “IM GOING TO KILL YOU IF YOU DON’T WALK FASTER AND IN A STRAIGHT LINE TO THE RIGHT”, i will someday just explode in a fit of rage and go on a stabbing spree. Maybe i should move back to California…
