Never expect that I would need to post something like this. But well...
"How to Walk Properly In the Crowd on a Daily Basis" is not a basic guide for babies to learn to walk from crawling around, it's mainly for adults who have no problem walking. Hope I made myself clear.
If you ever find it difficult to walk on the street or anywhere full of people, specifically being blocked frequently or realizing that you keep on blocking people only when you realized it, that could be a sign that something not right with your walking habit.
This is not something to complaint about but it's good to know how you should practice a good walking style in order to ensure that you are not causing an obstacle or trouble to others who happen to walk around you. And imagine if someone walk in the problematic or weird style as mentioned below, you won't feel good about it.
Give a signal by turning your head towards the direction you want to turn at least 3 seconds before turning so that people behind you know that you want to turn to that direction. And don't ever turn your head to the right and make sudden turn to the left. You are going to have an accident if you haven't experience one yet.
You probably realize, walking is somehow similar to driving. You don't make any turn or driving towards any direction without taking safety measurement. Of course, crashing into someone is nothing serious between vehicle and vehicle crashing, but it's nothing usual or fine about practicing a problematic walking style.
Always remember this, if you don't want someone to do the same to you, don't do it at the first place. Even if people still do it, don't follow their incorrect path.

1. No Crab Walk
Crab is an animal that born to walk (crawl) side way. They don't walk straight because that's how they are. But human are definitely born to walk straight. So don't do a sudden crab walk and assume that you definitely won't block anyone around you.2. Turn Your Head, Checked, Make the Right Turn
If you are a driver, you should know really well that whenever you need to turn to left or right side, always check if there is any vehicle behind that direction, make sure the path is clear, then turn to right if you want to turn to right or turn to left if you want to turn to left.Give a signal by turning your head towards the direction you want to turn at least 3 seconds before turning so that people behind you know that you want to turn to that direction. And don't ever turn your head to the right and make sudden turn to the left. You are going to have an accident if you haven't experience one yet.
3. No Gorilla Walk
Don't raise your shoulder, widen your arm and walk like there are too much of space for everyone. Straighten your body, put both of yout hand beside you, walk straight. No crab walk, starfish walk, drunken cat walk.....4. Walk with Your Backbone
Again, straighten your body, walk in a straight line. Don't ever give up utilizing your backbone and make a sudden float to the right or left like your bone suddenly soften. Always ensure you are not causing trouble to people near you before you lose your backbone.5. Don't Swing Your Hand
Understanding that swinging your hand is a sign of relaxing, and if you are in the middle of talking, moving your hand could be a sign to emphasize something or visualizing. But, duh..... you are not doing a presentation. Just walk and don't always assume your hand won't touch or hit anyone.6. No, No Sudden U Turn
Turning back is easy as 1 2 3. Unlike driving, you need check if there is any car on your back, stop at a proper location that won't block any vehicle, wait until no vehicle would block your way to make a U turn, and that's it. But there is always a safety reason for such measurement. If someone is right behind you and just make a funny 180 degree U turn, you know what would happen.7. No Sudden Stop, Please
The path is usually wide, people usually walk in the middle. If you need to stop for whatever reason, make a proper turn and stand on the side. There is no reason for you to become an obstacle in the crowd.8. Don't Stand in Group to Block People Way
Having a few more friends or family with you is the easiest way to block people. Whatever reasons you have that all of you need to stand there and stop moving. First, make a proper turn and stand on the corner. Second, avoid standing in a circle because you definitely able to block someone. Third, don't do any crab walk, make improper turn, gorilla walk, losing your backbone, swing your hand, sudden U turn, sudden stop..... Just don't do anything funny and remember there are people who are around you and they need to walk properly.You probably realize, walking is somehow similar to driving. You don't make any turn or driving towards any direction without taking safety measurement. Of course, crashing into someone is nothing serious between vehicle and vehicle crashing, but it's nothing usual or fine about practicing a problematic walking style.
