Fake coughing and approaching people
I have to take the dog out several times/day because we live in a downtown apartment. Although there are many fewer people on the street than normal, there are still some, particularly later in the day.
I stay away from people. I'll cross the street to avoid passing near someone who looks like they won't move over on the sidewalk to keep distance. But yesterday was weird and I wonder if it's becoming a game with some younger people to see if they can get a reaction.
Two situations yesterday. Snowy and I were stopped so she could sniff a tree. I moved close to her so that a number of people walking together would have space to walk by. All of a sudden I sense someone walk right up to me from the other direction and start saying grrrrr. I turn as this person walks right by and then he turns back and grins at me, like that was funny.
Later, I hear coughing. Look around to pinpoint who it is so I can avoid it. One in a group of teenagers walking my way. Snowy and I cross the street. Coughing continues and then laughing from all of them. No more coughing as they go on their way.
Is this becoming a game to freak people out by deliberately coughing or passing right next to someone? Anybody else had this experience?

... how does that affect others' shopping?
