I’m walking down a busy high street. There is a constant stream of people approaching me. My cane is particularly useful in these situations as most people tend to avoid me and walk either side , allowing me to concentrate on where i am, not who i’m avoiding in that second (My friends say i look like Moses, parting a sea of people).
Occasionally, however, someone will feel the need to dramatically step to the side, lower a shoulder and gesture the way in which i am already walking. One might remember such a scene from Disney Princess films where the helpless princess must be guided up the straight and unconfusing path by hundreds of bowing footmen.
Yes thankyou stranger, i was totally unsure of where to go when continuing to follow this straight road that i’ve been walking for a few minutes now. your theatrical guidance, whilst entertaining, was perhaps a little distracting though and i ended up tripping on an uneven paving slab.
