[quote=pdq]Edit: Also, when you slow walkers suddenly realize someone's catching up to you and you jerk your head around in alarm, should we look at you? Stare straight ahead? Pretend we're distracted by something across the street? I know - we should probably excuse ourselves in a friendly way (for what?), but that's asking a lot for some of us scandihoovians.
YES. I need to know this too!
Why can't basic manners come into play here?
Oh, excuse me! Mind if I scoot by you?
70-80% of the time it’s just dandy. But there is a surprisingly large number of people discomfited to no small degree, for an assortment of reasons, by even this unexpected, though minor, social interaction. So while not a question for the ages, there is room for some degree of curiosity about an optimum approach.
