The rules of sidewalk etiquette

[@drewbewho]

After a 9-year dry spell of comments, I come forth.

[@kemushichan]

hahah wtf. There's a point when u walk to up someone where you're both reading each other's body language and decide which way to turn from there...:P it normally doesn't happen at the LAST SECOND unless its crowded, or the people weren't looking...hhaha but its funny nonetheless

[@HadaCakraningrat]

When the Spaniard came in with the hat, I just literally laughed sooooo damn hard....

[@spicolisbrother]

lol "textbook" these vids are hilarious

[@Gardenwife]

Brilliant, guys! I just subscribed to your videos. When I encounter this situation, I usually shuffle a bit and exclaim, "dance with me!" with a big, dumb grin on my face.

[@rjy8960]

I've just spent too much time trying to find this vid. Brilliantly English humour

[@misterx20000]

Hahaha classic British humour.

[@therequiembellishere]

Okay. I hereby declare this argument and the below argument and official "Agreement to a disagreement"!

[@starkid77]

this was beautifully funny, i love the sidewalk shuffle, it's my favorite dance.

[@yesloow]

When I moved from the USA to a drive-on-the-left country, I got used to the driving pretty fast, but it definitely took me a while to adjust which side to walk on. I'd veer right and of course the oncoming person would veer to their left, leading to the quagmire (droitwich). Took a long time for me to re-wire that instinct.

[@LaScorpionita]

i am sending this to each and every Hong Konger i MEET and go-like-this to in the ever bumping streets! Wish there were more instructions on the when-exiting-or-entering-a-lane or when-you're-coming-out-of-a-doorway types.

[@UnoSemper]

Darn I cannot get that word, "Driotwich", out of me head..lol

[@HobbitRules]

Where I go to college, "Droitwiches" don't happen. You just get run over by people who don't care that you would rather walk on the sidewalk than veer off onto the grass because they and their friends are walking side-by-side.

[@VicDeHaven]

THANKS I needed this. After listening to the evening new, seeing too many political videos, and some other really good but emotional vids, this proved a real good way to relax. Good ol t'tongue in cheek' brit humor.

[@2bsure]

Brilliant! I miss British manners, well of the older folk. I live in Spain, Malaga, and trust me here there is no manners its head on collision when you walk.

[@swannavon]

Ha ha, great piece!

[@NeilTheDruid]

I live in Droitwich, which for some reason makes this slightly funnier than it probably is.

[@Aethersson]

Wooo, I own both the meaning of liff and the deeper meaning of liff. I love the Araglin.

[@walterjnr]

We need more of these rules in real life. Someone needs to make a law damn it.

[@coma8coma1]

and NOW I KNOW. thank you

[@Dontchokeonfear]

hahahaha that's brilliant

[@loflyerz7]

dont forget about idiots who walk while text messaging and are not looking where they are going.

[@LeBlanckL]

Haha, nice, I lol'd

[@ladylish05]

In 1821 a young woman was trapped in a well. she ate herself to stay alive, days later a group looked for her and found the well. they went in one by one, each went missing. when the last one went down there he landed on many eaten corpses, the bite marks were the same size and place. now that you know this she will come to your house 3 days after u read and eat u bite by bite unless u post this on 3 more movies.

[@asaf92]

that-thing-where-you-go-like-this AWESOME

[@NicolasSequeira]

This clueless fool thought he was just cruising along, but then all of a sudden he's sucked into the scene from Assignment Earth where Mr. Seven's hapless assistant Roberta is doing the get-past-you shuffle

[@sitti98]

When I was a teenager, it happened to me once. I bumped into a beautiful girl. Introduced myself after the embarassing moment. Later we fell in love!!!! A problem can become a miracle. It depends on how you take the opportunity.

[@Hammerheadiii]

Very helpfull!

[@pumuckel123]

curiously the british even walk the stairs up at the left side!! in germany, we normally walk on the right =D

[@therequiembellishere]

Thank you.

[@yanndick]

Thanks from France where you never been, for sure... But that video is really funny !

[@alexvpaq]

I used to do a double right or left movement when this happens, so I'm fine he he he ( but it sucks when someone as thought about that and said Hey I'll do a double movement ! )

[@BEANPOLE111]

@cvhashim does this really work to skip ads? If so... there should always be someone posting the 0:00 for every youtube vid

[@davedude2040]

Nice one

[@cuckoo61]

excelant!

[@Xeonaa]

At my school, "Droitwiches" don't happen because one of the members involved is always looking down at their damn phone! So I have to veer off the sidewalk completely to save from running into them...and they don't even notice! I'm just gonna run into them on purpose next time, I think. >_>

[@stephengotlost]

Just wait for the other person to start walking in a direction, then just proceed in the opposite direction.

[@Gexmini]

lol i think i haven't ! It is pretty obvious that the american cowboy, english gentleman or french steroptypes are really easy to see with its irony consequently... , but i only wanted to know what makes ppl think that european spanish stereotype is related with the american hat? nothign else =)

[@KillaKanga]

hahahha happens to me at school all the damn time

[@JamesLinehan]

Lol nice one! :D

[@espedragonluvr]

omg thats hilarious! it happens to me all the time!

[@KristoferKatatonic]

THUMBS UP FOR THE DROITWICH!

[@callmecarm]

Yes because us american's walk around in cowboy hats all the time lol

[@emissaryoftheadams]

perfectly British, perfectly silly, perfec'.

[@PerriVerde]

because the rest of it was completely realistic... all americans are cowboys and the spanish wear little decorative sombreros with tassles on... ahem, actually wait... it was just humour!!! ohhhh now i get it

[@bob10023]

LOL!

[@AlbahacaBasil]

I just saw the video and wanted to ask if it really works before trying it myself?

[@Napstablooky]

I just keep going right, because if they go right too. Most of the times they stop and look at where Im going. (do the tango) But if people are like me but go left, we'll bonk.

[@therequiembellishere]

I wasn't; I just don't want to be considered rude as it is evident from the below conversation that I am American. ^^ And I also go the a private, Roman Catholic High School (though, unfortunately, they are STILL rude people at my school -_-)

[@RusticB]

nice XD

[@SkinnedLynryd]

I've always thought of this but even in America I go to the right and the other person always seems to go to the left

[@therequiembellishere]

Where? My Firefox usually catches misspellings and I usually fix them? *furrows brow*

[@zuidwijk]

wow, you watched them all to find out you don't like their sense of humour? high density brainstem at work

[@rebjasguy]

The odd comments are even more interesting than the video. Funny old world isnt it?

[@creamofcardstv]

I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Do you have a famous or infamous ancestor? Please check out my latest clip.

[@therequiembellishere]

In what way and why are you changing the subject?

[@dead2thewind]

i do that but put my leading arm out(ish) to one side of them so they have no choice but to go one way and me the other.

[@Runwin2]

Good video lol...

[@xenomann442]

i would just charge through the other person in a straight line that way they have to go to the side and no matter which way it won't interfere with me cause i am going in a straight line

[@swizzcheez34]

Hah: P OR You can turn your torso to the side and pass them anyway. When people see me do that, they take a step to the side of me, and crisis averted. Done.

[@CloudStrifeThe1st]

I always go towards my right. I never noticed...

[@peteyg1]

HAAAAAAA

[@Eersian3]

@Sandydahling that's a sumbraro

[@Qwante]

hahahha :D

[@jp3d2k]

That is exactly how Frenchies look

[@YbHpotential]

cool

[@Gexmini]

Why is it so popular, in UK and USA, that Spanish (european real-Spanish ones) have to wear that hat ?? So far you might know thats from Mexico and has not a relation at all with the european ones...

[@therequiembellishere]

Ah.

[@Prospecter]

i live in Droitwich whys it called a Droitwich ahhhh

[@NealWilliams]

No Ammerican looks like that!

[@AlainCarAudioManiac]

lmao?

[@therequiembellishere]

67% is "much of the rest of the world".

[@Gretuz]

Or you do as me (who is tall) and just walk straigt forward :P (nah not realy)

[@alo8386]

damn... i droitwich all the time..

[@therequiembellishere]

Yeah, the rude sector or the rest of America.

[@Earthlinked]

The Mexican droitwich can never happen - the Mexican would walk out of the embassy - and climb the fence - the same way he got in the embassy and the country!! You will find - if there is no fence the Mexican would never figure out how to get in!!

[@Shinkotsuki]

Well... they are NOT spaniards... is a mexican's stereotype, and for US... is not whole only in Texas... but anyways was interesting new information... and yeah i can speak japanese... so WHY NOTHING JAPANESE IS HERE!!!! mattaku... kono eiga ga warui!!!!

[@johnnymo221]

COWBOYS!

[@FrankMiller]

That's the point man, get a sense of humour.

[@therequiembellishere]

Frankly, yes. If a person makes fun of their own people, their being abominable.

[@TheHairyNord]

your name worries me lolz.

[@Oblivious101]

Argh, I hate when the droitwich happens.

[@JamesLinehan]

No English look like that...

[@therequiembellishere]

Ugh
