ABSTRACT
Yes, there were too many people with too many packages on streets once built for horses and carriages and a small population. But that is really not a sufficient explanation for the jostling and apparent lack of body awareness that meant that someone’s arm would be flung across my breast without him having even registered there was a human body he was bumping into, or my bulky package of boots went flying into the person in front of me because I was being shoved at from behind.
