• Feeling competitive with other pedestrians
• Acting in a hostile manner (staring, presenting a mean face, moving faster or closer than expected)
• Feeling stress and impatience when walking in a crowded area (crosswalk, staircase, mall, store, airport, street, beach, park, etc.)
• Walking much faster than the rest of the people
• Not yielding when it's the polite thing to do
• Walking on the left of a crowded passageway where most pedestrians walk on the right
• Muttering at other pedestrians
• Bumping into others
• Not apologizing when expected (after bumping by accident or coming very close in attempting to pass)
• Making insulting gestures
• Hogging or blocking the passageway, acting uncaring or unaware
• Expressing pedestrian rage against a driver(like insulting or throwing something)
• Feeling enraged at other pedestrians and enjoying thoughts of violence
