I refuse to move (within reason)
If it's an elderly person, someone with a pram, someone in a wheelchair etc I will bend over backwards to move, but other than that if I'm going with the flow of traffic, someone is clearly aiming for me and expecting me to move or there's people walking 2+ abreast and expect me to move, we are going to collide because I'm standing my ground.
Today I was walking to my car and 2 young boys were walking side by side, at one point I was literally standing IN a puddle trying to get in my car and I had little room to move and he still expected to, we ended up shoulder checking eachother and tbh I have no regrets.

Groups of mums with prams 2 or 3 wide are some of the worst offenders because they know they can get away with it.

As a wheelchair user, I can sadly confirm that very few people get out of our way.
