One of NYC’s most popular pet peeve is people who don’t follow sidewalk etiquette.  Many residents in NYC are annoyed at the fact that people are always getting in their way when they’re in a rush.  Most of these people are either tourists, or pedestrians who have hardly been around the city.

On July 16, 2002, Marc Santora published an article on the New York Times about people who think they own the sidewalk. He points out 7 rules that everybody must follow in order to inhibit traffic on sidewalks:

1. Walking rules are like driving rules. (Stay on the right)
2. Don’t be a sudden stopper.
3. When walking with friends, don’t crowd every lane of the sidewalk.
4. Keep it moving.
5. Don’t be a heel stepper.
6. Get off the phone.
7. Keep Fido on a tight leash

This is probably the top pet peeve on my list. I am a student who goes to a commuter school in the city, and coming across people who are ignorant about sidewalk etiquette infuriates me. NYC is a very busy city, and most people are always in a rush to get somewhere. Therefore people should be informed and instructed about sidewalk etiquette in order to maintain tranquility in the streets of NYC.
