what do you think of people who sway their hands excessively while walking?

I've been a commuter, and I've been wondering why there are people who walks so cocky. swaying their hands so far out like they own the whole boulevard or city or what. I even made an observation and experiment If I carry a heavy bag or if others would carry a heavy object if they would swing their hands excessively but most really dont and the thing that ticks me is that I dont do that too.

does these people have a certain personality like are they cocky people or just dont care about anything or other people? or are they feeling they own the city or what? I just need to know, what do you guys think of these people?

sometimes when Im rushing and I cant maneuver them or get pass them it's boiling my blood, then what I do is i put my bag in front of me and let them feel they hit something or sometimes when a chick does that I forward my crotch to teach her a lesson. sometimes I think I want to put a taser and electrocute them so they would learn! I just find them rude, I just want to hear what other people think about those people. thanks in advance 8)

    Ha ha, I just observed a couple of ladies walking like that down the hall at work today and I remember thinking how funny they looked and if they realized just how much their whole bodies swayed and how their arms flailed about as if they were puppets on strings. They took up the whole hallway ahead of me. Fortunately my turnoff was shortly ahead so I didn't have to follow very far.

    But sometimes I do get stuck behind such people when I'm in a hurry and it can be annoying. In that case I find it best just to calm myself, stride in so I'm fairly close behind one of them and off to the side until they become aware, then I politely say excuse me & slip by. Sometimes I find it's better just to be patient and follow because usually it's not that far and they will have to move over for someone coming from the other direction which also allows me an opening.

    A third technique that works if above doesn't is to make some funny comment to those around you regarding something you just passed, not about them but which they will overhear and cause them to look as in: did you see that bird back there in the door? I'll be off to the side and as soon as they stop and turn I'll glide through the opening without breaking stride but acting as if I have to move around them to avoid a collision. I'll say nothing more & just keep going. Often they don't even know who made the comment or why they stopped to look. If others are around, often they will follow you until most have passed. I just have fun with the opportunity while trying not to be too obnoxious myself.
