I was riding my bike through the streets of a college town. There was a girl about 10 who was directing traffic (mostly elementary kids). Am I required to obey her traffic instructions.
If if makes any difference, she was wearing a uniform.

How do you get rid of an annoying woman without being too rude?
Q. I like to walk me dogs every day. Each day this annoying neighbor comes and walks with us. She NEVER shuts up. You can't get 1 word in! NO ONE can stand her! My friend had to leave the other day while walking with me. He said he didn't want to be rude, but her just can't STAND her! I've tried being rude with her. She's come face to face with me 4 times, and I've turned around and gone the other way. She meets me next block. I've told her not to talk because I have a migraine. She doesn't hear me! She sends her kids out on bike to find me. They do..and go tell their mom where we are. I've tried going in the morning, afternoon, and late at night. I've gone different routes. Doesn't matter! Does anyone have any advice for me on how to get rid of her with out being too rude?
Thank You!!
Thank You!!

I think this is one of those times when tact fails and you have to take a direct approach. When this woman next intercepts you and starts to walk with you, stop and in a polite tone of voice tell her that you prefer to walk your dogs unaccompanied (if you're alone), or that you were going to engage in private conversation (if you are with someone whose company you prefer), and could she please pardon you and not accompany you?
This is a perfectly polite thing to do. Unless she's mentally disturbed (possible) or so crass that she doesn't understand the concept of boundaries (also possible), the only thing she can do is leave you alone.
If for whatever reason she refuses to respect your wishes, then I think it's time to escalate things another level and tell her, as clearly as possible, that her company is not wanted and that if she does not understand that you wish her to leave you alone, you will report her to the police for stalking you.
Because if she persists in trying to insert herself into your life after you have asked her to leave you alone, that is what her behavior is: stalking.
Good luck to you.
