What's mildly irritating you today?

Dealing with sidewalk blockers is easy if you are heading toward each other. You just walk up to them, and if they don't move out of your way, you come to a stop and force them to walk around you. (Just make sure you are as far to the right as possible when you do this, so you don't come across as a sidewalk hogger yourself.) I refuse on principle to step off a sidewalk to let a group coming from the opposite direction continue merrily blocking the entire path.

If you are heading in the same direction though, and the blockers are walking slower than you and are in front of you, you're pretty much fucked. Not much you can do without coming across as an impatient jerk.
