Especially a group of multiple ones taking up both sides of the hallway. If you are going to do it, at least pull your legs in when multiple people are trying to walk through the hall. If you give death glares because I have the audacity to need to get to the other side of the hallway, I will step on your legs.

Ergh, YES. Not gonna lie, when this happens in uni, I put on my mean face. It works really well when I'm dressed up because of teaching, because then I get mistaken for a prof and you better believe they pull their legs in faster. Tee hee. When I'm not, I just walk over people (step between legs, not on them) and the look of shock and confusion is priceless. But I would give up my amusement just so I can keep walking down the hall without worrying someone is going to try and trip me.
Welu:
I step between their legs and people do, "Ugh. Bitch." at me for it. I really want to say to them, "Please explain to me how I am being the awkward one here?"
Sort of related: Yesterday I tripped on some stairs and hurt my ankle. My boyfriend helped me sit on the stairs while he went outside to call his mum to pick us up (no signal indoors). I tried to cling against the wall as close as I could to stay out of the way, leaving just under a metre of space. A woman goes by, walks about three steps on and then goes, I think it was meant to be under her breath, "Yeah, just hang out on the stairs why don't you."
I understand someone sitting on the steps is annoying but when they've got tears down their face and are nursing their ankle, do you really think they're just being ignorant? I know there's really no way she could have known I tripped but it still pissed me off. About fifteen people passed me and the only one who asked if I was okay was a worker in the building. I do appreciate them getting someone to help though.

Technically, Serverbeach was an infringing party by hosting the content. Serverbeach may have handled it poorly, but the lawyers for Pearsons were directly contacting an infringing party. The problem with asking lawyers to directly contact the uploader of infringing copyright is that they frequently have no means to do so. In this case the actual violator, in the traditional sense would be the teacher who made the site in question. There is likely no contact information for said teacher on the website in question. The compromise from the DMCA between allowing violations to remain online unchecked and sueing every host of user content on the web was the DMCA violation notice system we have.

LTK, I've been vegetarian all my life - both of my parents are. Before anyone chimes in with "clearly you were brainwashed" or any of the idiocy I've been dealing with my whole life, from the age of about 12 I was free to choose to cook my own meals and I could have requested meat, and now I do all my own shopping and continue to be vegetarian. I'm choosing it every day (I wasn't suggesting your question was rude or idiotic - I just get a lot of "that's not fair, they should have given you the choice!" when I tell people I was raised veggie and it's nonsense, you can say the same the other way round).

May, I think you are my British twin... That sounds just about exactly like my childhood.
