In the city I live in, everyone: young and old, are that way. It pisses me off to high hell when people do that, especially when they give you the dirty look and don't say excuse me at all. (I have a bit of road rage too when people cut you off, etc... It's the same for walking in my opinion.) My husband tells me to calm down and if someone's coming straight at me, to stand still and let them run into you so you can freak out on them for plowing you over. I haven't tried it yet, as I haven't been out in a crowd lately, but the next time I get a chance, I'm going to unleash some fury on whoever crosses my path. What a great stress reliever :-) >hopefully<
