Have any of you ever been walking on like the sidewalk and gotten stuck between like three people who are walking together and taking up the whole sidewalk? Now normally that woudln't be a problem, but when they walk really slow and don't let people pass simply because they aren't aware that they're holding up traffic, its really annoying. It gets worse if I'm late to class or work or really need to get somewhere, and I don't want to say anything, because its rude, and I don't want to walk in the street 'cause drivers in MA will basically run you over if you walk in the middle of the street.

I'm pretty sure other people share this same sentiment, there's even a Facebook group called "I want to punch slow walking people in the head" or something along those lines :)

Gotta say I agree. Its frustrating.You try your best not to walk so close but you end up basically walking into the back of them. Or stepping on there shoes. Eventually I get ticked of and just totally flatten them as I barge my way through... I wish. If only it were that easy :)

/agree!

Being tall i have pretty long legs which means i can happily walk twice as fast as most of the morons about today. Its really frustrating because if i walk really slowly (hencenforth known as girl-shopping speed) i start to loose my balance haha! I suppose being overweight doesnt help that but its just torture! i end up walking like a complete weirdo!

Plus is so so so annoying, by the time these gimps have walked 10 meters i can have been shopping, had some lunch, got a coffee and be on the bus!

I also hate people that walk towards you at just dont move! Im fairly easy to see!! So now im doing the same, i tend to walk looking to the left or right or just over the heads of anyone walking towards me and they soon move :)

People that text when they walk and because they just cant do it they walk so slowly they might as wel not be moving! Damn if you're gonna text and walk learn where the buttons are, then you dont need to look at the phone!!

I don't really like slow walkers ever, or very fast walkers. My friend is a slow walker, once I was walking fast that when I looked behind, my friend wasn't there, lol. But my other friend is an extremely fast walker, he walks so fast that it looks like he's running/jogging.

I like to have a brisk pace when i walk. If I have quite a long way to walk then I will walk/run. slow walking is so much more tiring than a nice brisk pace. My girlfriend used to walk along so damn slow like a 70 year old until I made her pick it up a bit. now she's in better shape and more efficient in getting around. Walking is one of the best forms of exercise you can do so it's good to do it a lot.

I haven't really ran into that issue too many times. Usually people are aware if you follow them too long, for whatever reason, and they will move out of your way.

If you do think they are going too slow and aren't noticing you, just say 'excuse me' and they will usually let you through. It's not a mean thing to do because maybe you are in a hurry and they aren't. I haven't found anyone who has taken offense to asking to pass before.

I have to run to the bus after school and sometimes I have to run through a mall. It seems like people have a lot of time sometimes, and they certainly love to use as much space as they possibly can. I am running and suddenly there is a huge wall of people in front of me, walking as slow as the time suddenly started going slower. But I have to admit that maybe I am just as bad when I have time.

The worst thing is, as shadowx says, people who do not move. Also it creates this awkward moment if I move to my left and the other person moves to his/hers right. Then there is this "Oh, who is going to move" and I hate that. Sometimes when I am about to walk passed someone they have created a long line of people almost rushing by me and I have no idea where to go! It is like a freaking wave, where do I hide?!

He're is my theore in life. The rate at which people walk is proprtionate to three things.

1. Intellegence.
2. Income.
3. Age.

Now the second and third one you can't do much about (unless of course you're a welfare rat [disreguard 3] and you're just too lazy to do anything.) so if age is what's holding them up I just disreguard it and move on.

However a bunch of the welfare rats who are dumber than *BLEEP* at our school walk so slow that they manage to take up ALL of MY six minutes to get to class. I don't have time to go to the restroom in between classes or stop by my locker to get anything. So I have to be held up by a bunch of imbasals. It angers me. Really.

Anyway yes, people who walk slow are usually completely unaware morons. RAWR!

There are a few things to consider here:

  • Don't you consider it rude that they're taking up the whole walkway?
  • Failure to ask means you are part of the "problem," possibly 50% of the "problem" would be you (i quote the word problem because if you did not want to be somewhere at a specific time, it would not be a problem, or just a small annoyance).
  • "Because it's rude"—does this mean you don't ask nicely?
"May I get by?" should be enough. In cases that it isn't, keep asking. If necessary, have someone ask with you. Also, traffic should be considered before planning to go anywhere; that is, get out earlier than usual when possible—plan ahead.

Okay I suppose I'll try asking next time instead of just waiting for them to figure it out 'cause most of the time they don't, and I have to wait until we get to an intersection to walk around them.

Yeah, do that, lol...People sometimes just don't know that you're behind them.

I mean think about it..If you're walking slow because you have 10 mins to get somewhere(especially at school) that only takes 5 mins..That's completely normal. What's the point of rushing to a class you don't like anyways?

So it's a very normal part of walking, especially at work, school, etc. where people don't want to be to begin with.

yeah i agree. i hate those clowns who just walk so goddam slowly and take up the whole friggin footpath - there are people who actually have somewhere to get to! they just hang around the street like its there backyard. they don't care if the person or people behind them are late to go somewhere. they think you should just walk around them but they don't realise that they're taking up the whole sidewalk!!!!

Oh yes i hate people who do that! They behave as though they own the entire stretch of the road! Actually i think the right thing to do would be to shout 'excuse me!' because they are the ones who are being downright rude and inconsiderate in the first place. At least that's better than shoving people aside. On the other hand, some idiots don't understand or are deaf and continue to hog the road. Once, a friend of mine got held up by a group of 4 talkative giggly girls. They didn't hear her say 'excuse me'. so my friend got so annoyed she just shoved the girl's bum and stalked past. Apparently, there was a domino effect when the girl lost balance. lol

I hate people who think they are the only ones at the escalator, and therefore they decide to barely move when it is at top / bottom. They create a horrible cue where people are desperately trying not fall over, and yes I am one of them. When you decide to take the escalator please make sure you have the ability to move quickly before trying it!

I do hear all of you... I can consider those oldies... But if you really are in a rush, just shout "Excuse Me".. And I'm sure they will let you pass... Make it loud enough for them to hear it...

They really annoy me... But what annoy me most is "Walking with a person who walks so slow"... :)
I feel like it's a waste of time...

I don't really think walking slow is such a bad thing, I mean if you're relaxed and can take your time that's great. I'm one of those people who usually walks really really fast but when I'm in no hurry to get anywhere I find it refreshing to walk slow and not worry about where I have to be. However, I really hate it when I'm trying to get somewhere and a bunch of people are walking slow in front of me. :P Like in our school the hallways aren't that wide so if three people are walking side by side you can't get around them. Me and my friend call it "blood clots in the arteries of the school" :)
Walking fast is better exercise though, so maybe everyone should try and walk faster. :P

Ok, I hate this with a passion, I will be walking in a supermarket and I will be behind some people and they will literally be standing still, in a long line across the pathway. When I ask them to move, they all look at me like I am the devil, and considering that I ask them VERY nicely, I don't see why. Another pet hate is when people stand in the walking lane of the escelators, grrr it really gets to me when I am trying to go to school/work. My last pet hate of this subect matter is when people stand right across the supermarket aisle, why they do this is beyond me but, they do it anyway.

Anyway, I have a proposal for this idead, they should make a fast lane and a slow lane in malls so if you want to walk fast you can, and if you want to walk slow you can. It seems to be the happy medium.

Yes I know how you feel, I usually just speed up and try to get around them (if possible) and if not i say excuse me and barge through... yes a little 'rude' i suppose but it's their fault for taking up the whole sidwalk and not leaving room for others :P

   Sat Jan 3, 2009    Reply         

Hahahaha :P There aren't people who walks slowly, just people who walks too fasttttt... :P And i don't hate them I don't know why you hate that type of people. Maybe somebody for example hates you because you are eating with open mouth (kidding :P don't take it seriously). Okay people who walks slowly are just old people (which is excusably) and i don't hate them.

P.S. Who hate them? We are just cracking out...

I'm a slow walker, but most of the time I'm a hurry so I have to walk really fast almost run, and that thing you are describing there is really frustrating, but if I'm in a hurry I don't care if I'm rude I would say excuse me and pass in between those people, I mean it's not my fault they have enough time haha but I have to say sometimes I'm the slow one and people do that to me, so I don't care I just keep on going and let them pass...

I'm short and my boyfriend is really tall so even if he walks normally his steps are going to be always wider so I have to walk really fast to get to his pace and that is really annoying too. :P

It's not a question really of slow walking people,but of
people who just don't know how to think or be considerate.
I mean,someone could be walking slow because they are old or sick.
One must always consider this.

It is irritating though,people who weave about from side to side on the sidewalk,
when you are trying to pass them,or as you say, three people walking really slow,
blocking the sidewalk in front of you.
It can get on the nerves.

Aggred with networker. They could be old or maybe Sick.
It can get on your Nerves, Just walk around them or say Excuse me.
I tryed overtaking someone before and ended up waking into a Lamp Post.

Yea, I usually walk quite fast so the slow people are just in my way. In some rarely cases, they have delayed my arrival. Not to offend them but just frutstrating. I have planned my ETA with my walking speed and they have altered it. Although I do account for variable delays, sometimes, it is just too much.

I walk so slowww. I can't help being naturally slow though. x3

I usually try to be early in class so I usually rush, but then people sort of jump in front of me to get to their friends and then walk slow. It gets pretty annoying since most of my classes are on different floors. I'm usuallyy able to get around them and I was never late because of them before so that's goood. ^^;

They probably don't realise they're doing it because they're talking and stuff, but I'm sure if you ask to get around they'll let you. :)
