I ran into someone who walked backward from the sidewalk into the street while talking to his friends. I couldn't immediately find my bell since it's in a different place than I'm used to, but I yelled "Hey hey hey hey," the only word I could bring quickly to mind, as I approached our apparent point of collision, but to no avail. I slowed down and turned away as much as I could so it was a glancing blow that did not seem to do him any harm, though one of the two carryout containers he was holding sailed up in an arc that ended in a splattery face-plant on the pavement.

I stopped to ask if he was ok. When it seemed he was, I started on my way as he observed "Really? Fucking dick." Maybe he expected me to replace his food? I dunno.

Advice for everyone; don't walk backward into traffic. It's a bad idea.
