\u00a0 \u00a0So, it\u2019s time for a common sense public safety announcement: be courteous to people who are walking around you. Especially in small crowded spaces like Sinclair\u2019s campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Campus isn\u2019t that big, and the hallways can be tight and narrow. Do you know what makes them even more claustrophobic? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0People walking at a snail\u2019s pace right in the middle of the damn hallway! Or someone meeting a long lost friend and coming to a dead stop to chat. How about those people that walk past a corner and hug the left side, so anyone crossing almost has a head on collision with them?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0There have been so many awkward moments in my time where I\u2019ve bumped into or almost ran into somebody who did these things, and they looked at me like I was at fault.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s annoying, and since the semester has just started it is a great time for a refresher course for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Walking through the many hallways and corridors of Sinclair is like driving a car. Stay to your right so that the middle is freed up if someone wants to pass you. Everyone walks at a different pace depending on how late to class they are. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Also, if you\u2019re crossing into a new hallway, take wide turns. Don\u2019t hug the corner and veer off to the left. That\u2019s how near collisions happen. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Another tip is to be mindful of where you are when you see someone you know and want to talk to them about the weather, the big game or whatever people talk about. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s great that campus is small enough where you can make quite a few friends in small spaces, but for the love of God, migrate to the wall or sit in a class or something. Don\u2019t be the cause of a six-student traffic jam. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0While we\u2019re on the subject, let\u2019s talk about elevators. The miracle shafts that save us from traversing three flights of stairs are good, but can cause problems as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Proper elevator etiquette is important. If you\u2019re in the elevator and getting off, don\u2019t sit in the back and dilly dally when it opens. Treat it like Nascar and get out of there so others can get on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Conversely, if you\u2019re waiting for the \u2018vater, don\u2019t stand right in front of it. More often than not someone will be in it and if they\u2019re doing the right thing they\u2019ll be getting out of it at the speed of light. Standing right in front of it puts you in danger of being ran over or shot the dreaded evil eye.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Following those two rules gets people on and off the elevator very quickly and avoids awkward situations. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Keeping these campus courtesies in mind will help you on your walk to classes and in the real world. Walking through stores and restaurants will be less of a pain if you apply these rules to those places, so that you aren\u2019t an inconvenience to those around you.<\/span><\/p>\n
