If there is do you suffer from this?
I have to go into town later today and I'm dreading it! Does anyone have any tips on how I can fend off the ba.stard crowds?

My sheds on fire......I will already be armed with my 1yr old in a buggy and my 4 yr old on the loose, is that good enough?

i am a bit of an *ss at shopping centres..
if too many people hit me as they walk past, i will walk in a straight line and walk into people..
often they will move, but some people get a bit of a shoulder shove!

Try to see this as a game. You're at point A and you need to go to point B and all those ba.stard are only "things" happening to stop you. It's helping me.... I don't feel like all those ba.stards are jjust rude, it's part of the game.

There should be! I get annoyed with people who stand in the middle of the pavement chatting or on corners. I also hate dawdlers who walk at 2 steps per minute. Only allowable if elderly or disabled but its usually teenagers and they cant seem to go anywhere without a gang of friends to hold their hands.
Best advice if you have to go is stay as cool as you can and make it into a game of some kind. After all its a bit like dodgem cars and people pay to ride em.

Don't know that there is anything Officially known as 'Pedestrian Rage,' but there ought to be, especially at 'cyclists' who ride on pavements and women with 'unwieldy' buggies + individuals who 'park' shopping trolleys in the middle of supermarket isles so that you cannot 'get by them.'
This is not 'directly a part of this,' but, women like my wife who pull things off of shelves (clothing or packets), off of hangers, and don't ('refuse to'!) put them back as they found them.
I HATE their indifference to what they do.
Sash.

yes i too suffer from pedestrian rage regularly, wether its the dithering old person who is just too slow, or stupid teenager who suddenly decides to stop in front of you before trying to go the other way, idiots.
Only advice is to go at non-peak times, and just push through, take no prisoners! good luck

Start coughing and sneezing really loudly! Also, pretend to be talking on your mobile and yell really loud "Yeah this constipation problem I have, the doctor told me not to go into crowds as it is contagious!"

The pet hate for me is buggies. Especially women who walk side by side and think that they own the pavement!!

Get a pushchair with a doll in it. People use them as 'snowploughs' to clear the way. People wont get near you ;-)
