Inspired by another question elsewhere on the site:

I work in a large office. People stop to discuss things in the "halls" of our cubicles. When they see someone coming, they both back up the sides and continue talking while letting someone pass....

Now, this is also an office full of a LOT of men...like 80% men at least. Many times, it will happen that the route I must go down to go to/from my desk, etc. is where one of these convos is happenning and there is no alternate route, unless I want to scale the cubicle walls.

a) Am I being neurotic about not passing between 2 men?

If no, b) what do I do? (I've already contemplated what else I could be doing, but usually the scenario is that I must take that path to continue doing my job..I can't just walk around aimlessly until they decide to end... Also, it would just be so weird to say, "Would you both move to one side?" as this is in the velt, and it would impact a few hundred people who all live in the same floor as me...)

would you ask people to move aside in the subway ... in the street ... the elevator ...

or you could politely say oh excuse me can you move to the side - say it enough times they might just move when they see you

who says a woman can't pass between two men, I always knew that a man can't pass between two women...
