Overhead in New York

It sums up the conflict of two enduring problems: New Yorkers can be so rude, but sometimes, it’s entirely provoked. Tourists should not stop in the middle of sidewalks any more than they would appreciate people suddenly stopping in the middle of busy streets in their communities. Sidewalks are our streets.
But it does sound like those suits had a slight anger-management problem.

I’d say the rudeness factor of the suits was unnecessarily high. I don’t like how tourists often stop in the middle of the sidewalk either, but you don’t see me cussing at them in front of their children.

Cussing unnecessary. Addressing lame people to alert them to their lame ways: unnecessary but highly entertaining.
