[local] Walk left, stand right

[sabotabby]

Spacing Magazine is publishing a book on Toronto etiquette, and they want your help. The responses so far are pretty adorable in their bureaucratic mindset (as one comment points out: "Interesting that the Marrakech and Montreal examples were ones of true social interaction and most of the examples in the comments could be codified into a bylaw. We’re still Toronto The Prim then…")

I really don't think we're as cold and rude a city as people claim (though, of course, it depends on the neighbourhood) but we are long overdue for an etiquette guide. Go forth and contribute! I'm looking especially at you, zingerella.

Things one ought not to do:

Provide the entire bus with the lurid details of one's sex life. Just because you are using a mobile phone doesn't mean we can't hear you.

Walk three abreast on the sidewalk. Yes children of Market Lane Public School I am talking about you.

Scrape snow off one's BMW onto a homeless person. Yes the camel is ahead of you in the paradise queue.

Take several classes of public schoolers on field trips to the St. Lawrence Market just before Christmas.
