The Law
In the early 1900s, milkmen delivered glass bottles to residential doorsteps in the early hours of the morning. Running on the job supposedly caused the glass bottles to rattle excessively, waking up sleeping residents and occasionally causing dangerous glass-shattering accidents. To maintain the peace and avoid broken glass, a strict walking-only policy was enacted.
