"Actually, I've found that if you wear a mask outside, even where not required, people do distance themselves, tuck themselves behind one another. No mask, no reaction."
I've found that striding toward them and showing no sign of moving aside for them usually causes couple or groups to shuffle themselves into single file... Occasionally after a comment or two directed at me. My standard answer is usually, "Single-file is a thing, you know." Although, depending on the tone of their comments, I have been known to amend it to, "SINGLE-FILE, you antisocial git! Look it up if you're too stupid to understand the concept without explanation".
But then, I don't mind doing my shouting on the outside when I feel the situation warrants it.
