When walking down the sidewalk one is often confronted by persons coming from the opposite direction to the one in which you are currently moving. Frequently, in order to allow these persons to pass you comfortably, you grant them wide enough berth to go past without hampering you, or whacking you in the shins with their belongings.

This normally works out tolerably well for both parties, until you are confronted with that rare soul The Greedy Pavement Prick, who, upon viewing that you have moved to the side to grant them room, also moves further to the side, towards you, thus allowing you scarcely enough space on the sidewalk to prevent yourself from stepping into the muck and trash-filled gutters alongside.

To these persons I give a hearty and sincere "Go fuck yourself sideways with a nail-studded fence-post."
