this is my rule in this case:
i ALWAYS let the person in front whom im crossing by the dry side unless that person has an umbrella but an old woman the other day broke my schemes
the woman had an unbrella so i thought i would go by the dry path
but as she saw me she lowered the umbrella and forced her way
i think this is a primate thing on self perceived status
when i was ten i asked this to my best friend:
he said he ALWAYS would go by the dry side even if he had to stop and pretend o tight the shoe laces
so
when it rains, youre by a building and you cross someone in front and you both have no umbrella what do you do
