How to Charm Me [on the sidewalk]

Walk at the speed of turtle or better yet stop walking all together because you are:

• sending a text. I promise if you use T9 you can walk & text at the same time
  
• e-mailing/crack-berrying
• a lost tourist
• reading AM NY or Metro. Honestly it's a free newspaper, how interesting can it be?
  
• talking on the phone (look it's 2007, if you can't walk & talk at the same time, maybe you shouldn't be privileged enough to own a cell phone)
• walking more than 2 across i.e. a group of 13 year old girls from the 'burbs wearing matching lime green t-shirts that say "Milton Middle School's First NYC Trip" who also think the sidewalks are just like the hallways where you can, in fact, walk with 9 other friends and not get in anybody's way. Newsflash: You're in my way!
