A local family already claimed the curb we wanted for First Randoli. Squeeze behind, ask first, or keep walking. Not a Sinhala doorstep one-liner and not shop-front doorway rent.

Ask first with a smile and a gesture — most families make a little space if you are not pushing into their kids. If the answer is no, keep walking to the next thin gap rather than forcing a squeeze.

Locals who claimed early earned the spot. A polite ask still beats silent shoulder-pushing.

Have a second curb in mind so a single no does not strand you.
