You know what rolls downhill?
Eureeka sez on LJ's Metaquotes that...


"...inyfacemckelvey ponders an age old question:

given a narrow path, who has the right of way?

a. me, pushing a baby in a stroller

b. an angry lesbian in a wheelchair, smoking a cigarette

she thought b. i thought a. disaster ensued.




And the folks there flipped out and decided to add to that disaster with much frothing from lesbians, the disabled, babies, Childfree, smokers, nonsmokers, mothers and offended strollers.

(For those who were wondering, the person going uphill has the right of way. Or so they claim.)

Oh good, I just saw this and headed straight over here. I want to know... has anyone thought of the stroller and the wheelchair? How do they feel, huh?

Right of way? Odd, I would have assumed someone would have had the courtesy to allow another to pass before them, regardless of 'right of way'. Then nobody would have given it a second thought, would have continued with their day concerned about more important issues, like how much cake to have for dessert. Mm, cake.

Clearly, my priorities are screwed up.

Augh, why did I read those comments? Now I want to kill someone, and I've no video games here to simulate it!

Vulgarweed is kind of my hero and I know it's wrong, but I hope LM_Jimmybean ends up in a wheelchair someday.

I liked justaducky's comment.

I would have made way for either of them. Especially the stroller, if it was one of those tanklike models with the airlocked cockpit for the baby and gun turrets and serrated wheels and shit that are always taking up like five spots on the bus.

If I were the woman with the stroller, I'd give the angry lesbian the right of way. Seriously, angry people in wheelchairs are not to be fucked with, a. because it's mean to fuck with people in wheelchairs and b. because I don't like being cussed at and whacked with someone's free hand.

Is it one of those dumbass jogging strollers that you can't turn easily? Because gods help me if I'm out with my crazy-lady-shopping-cart-that-doesn't-turn and someone decides they have the so-called "right-of-way".

It's not my fault it's full of groceries so it hurts more when it hits your ankles!

I have this plan for when I rule the world, where everyone--EVERYONE--is required to spend one full week in a wheelchair whenever they leave their house. School, work, restaurants, everything. No getting out no matter what until they get home.

I feel this will improve the world substantially!

The only proper recourse in this case is for both parties to dodge left and then right and then wind up smacking right into each other anyway.

The wheelchair and the stroller are still screwed, though.

I always just give way to whoever.

I'd claim it was natural politeness, but I'm pretty sure my grandma booted me in the head to get me to move when I was a toddler and it's lingering trauma.

Clearly this issue can only be resolved by giving both parties lances. Traditional jousting was best two out of three falls, I believe.

I always move for wheelchairs.

Mostly because I have a friend in one who likes to chase me and run over my toes when I wear sandals. I would NEVER invite that on myself willing, even if I was pushing a stroller. Wheelchairs hurt!

Also because I spent 4 years as the designated pack mule/wheelchair pusher for a very good friend. There is NOTHING like coming to a sudden halt while pushing a wheelchair. Of course, that happened because we got caught in mud. But still! You don't make a wheelchair stop suddenly. It's mean.

Plus, you know, I'm polite.

(For those who were wondering, the person going uphill has the right of way. Or so they claim.)

So if they're on flat ground, a demolition derby-style competition for right-of-way is okay, right?

Let's see: person going uphill. Easy to stop the means of conveyance, correct?

Person going downhill: not so easy to stop.

I'd be getting out of the way of the person with the greater inertia.

Also? Don't fuck with people in wheelchairs. You never know how badly they are going to pwn your ass (and pwn it they will).

This got posted to stupid_free, too, though it only achieved minimal wankage.

I stand by my assessment that it's so much easier for everyone if you just visualize the event transpiring in the most hilarious way possible, click the back button, and go on with your life. Better to LOL than curse the darkness, etcetera, etcetera.

The DMV handbook says whoever's coming downhill has the right of way, as it's easier for them to maneuver.

(This is, of course, bullshit, as anyone who has been on a narrow, winding North Berkeley road with cars parked on both sides knows. Whoever can pull over, does. Period.)
