Yeah we have people who do that. In NYC, anything goes and it's a fairly lawless place. It's usually teenagers or young adults. Some don't know how stupid it is. They're just taking the shortest path for them. I think some are trouble makers who do it to see what happens. I had a gang of teenagers do that to me. Maybe they wanted me to curse them out or something. As I normally do, I just stopped dead because I can't predict their next move. I probably did give an angry stare, but that's all. He made eye contact briefly and then moved on.
