COULD YOU GO A LITTLE SLOWER, MAYBE?

Don't you hate it when you're walking (walking with intent, with a destination and time frame in mind) and you're stuck between a couple who have to savor every foot step, every look and feel of the street? And for some reason, no matter how hard you try, they seem to be able to predict your every move and turn and cut you off just when you think you can get by. These are the kinds of walkers that really drive me up the wall.

WADDLE WADDLE WADDLE

The waddlers. These are the people who feel the need to walk at a speed of half a foot per second. They enjoy taking up the entire amount of free space on the sidewalk or aisle and completely forget about what it means to be "considerate"

STACCATO STROLL

These are the people who are walking in a crowded street and know that there are people following behind them. Yet for some reason, they immediately stop in the middle of the road to look at a bird, fiddle with their purse, say "waddup" to some guy, etc, etc.I MEAN COME ON. Would it hurt so much to make a sidestep before coming to a complete halt.

THIS IS WHERE I LEAN.

Finally we come to the people who feel like the best place to quietly wait right in the center of the most crowded part of the street, and for some reason these guys never seem to be alone. They are always in groups. Tourist are notorious for this because, well...they're tourists. BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE. Whenever I am tourist, I never choose to just lounge about where the most people can get pissed off with me. These are the kind of people who think like to give off the aura "this is me world, get used to it," when in reality they're giving off the "I am an inconsiderate douche" vibe.
