Have you ever been walking before? Well duh, but did you know there was such a thing as walking etiquette? If not... no worries! I've got 5 necessary tips or commandments for walking on campus.
1. CAN YOU GO ANY FASTER?
If I am walking at a quick pace and you are practicing to be a turtle, please do as Ludacris says and GET OUT THE WAY! I understand that you aren't in a hurry to get where you're going, but for those of us that are please politely slide to the left and continue on your way.
2. ONE...TWO... WHAT DO YOU DO?
When walking, it's normal to make eye contact with someone walking in the opposite direction. In this case there are two things you can do. The Look Down (this is done when you get to the closer person you were making eye contact with and look at either your phone or on the ground). The next option would be the SILENT HEY (this is done again as the person gets closer you just simply smile and say hey without any sound coming out at all). I definitely go with the SILENT HEY all the time.
3. DO YOU NEED THE WHOLE SIDEWALK?
Dear Sir or Ma'am, I know you see me walking. Do you see how I chose to walk on the left? Could you not make me walk on the grass the closer we get to one another? Could you please slide over to the right ?
Thanks,
Annoyed!
4. DON'T BLOCK ME IN.
It's totally cool that you aren't walking to class by yourself like the rest of us. However, if the two of you are walking slow and I catch up to you, please DO NOT BLOCK ME IN! For instance, if I move to the left, don't you move to the left making it harder to get around.
5. JUST BE SMART.
Whatever you do as you walk to get an awesome education, just be polite!
So, if you didn't know, now you do! Be polite, and walk on!
