Walk-by Knockers

I don't know what was up with today, but I got side-swiped by six different people today in six unrelated instances.  They ranged from a light brush to almost a full-on tackle.

Normally I don't pay much attention because it happens all the time and that they're accidental, usually by inconsiderate pedestrians who decide not to share the sidewalk to others walking in the opposite direction.  This time however, I don't think I've gotten so many interactions in the course of one day before.

I tried my best to avoid these walk-by knockers, but in some of the run-ins I either ran into them or walk on the street into incoming vehicle traffic.  Seeing as how I didn't want to get hit by a car, I opted to get hit by the sidewalk hoggers instead.  At least with this method I could literally knock some sense into them and remind them to share the sidewalk before getting hit by the next person.
