    Good call. And if you are slow walker, walking with OTHER slow walkers, you cant walk 5 people side by side so nobody can pass......

    get to the right side.

    Only if the lane is surrounded by an electric fence that if they sway at all they would receive an electric shock similar to what a police officer uses to detain a criminal. This would not include children, because after all what do kids do other than drag thier feet?

    Ten minutes ago that happened and prompted me to start this thread.

    speaking of walkers who can't keep to a straightline, today a friend of mine fell foul of a guy not looking where he was going, he tripped her up, she really hurt her knees, ripped her trousers, he spilt his coffee over her. He was completely apologetic and helped her up but I felt like punching him. she was really shaken up.

    I concur about the slow walkers.

    And by the way, if we ever bump into each other in the street, me and my wheelchair are probably going to go to the LEFT of you. No need to keep doing the left, right, where is he going to go, basketball fakey thing. It confuses the hell out of me. If we meet each other in the street, walk to the left of me.

    Thanks. :D

    Can we include the "stopping in the middle of the walkway for no apparent reason" people as well. I'd like them to have their own little fenced pen to mill around aimlessly in.

    I went to the christkindlmarket in Chicago with my husband and baby on Saturday, and we spent the whole walk from the el to the market trapped behind these three doofuses walking slowly with their arms linked. :rolleyes:

    Seattle has the same exact problem, only with the drivers. I got stuck behind someone going 35 on the I-5 yesterday with NO ONE in front of him and the lanes to my left were too crowded to get over for a while. I was so pissed! I've noticed that here no one knows that the left lane is the fast lane. I go crazy everyday with this! I walk really fast too.... no titilywinking around for me. :)

    Dublin only has that problem in summer when the spanish students come over.

    Big groups of them walking very very slowly and stopping randomly and shouting at each other...

    we should also include the 'stopping at the end of an escalator' people. there should be catapults. if the weight stays the same for more than 1 sec, the person on there gets a free flight.

    I live in Edmonton.
    Home to the current Worlds largest mall.
    West Edmonton mall.

    I hate.
    hate,
    HATE.

    When I cant get around the slow walking groups of people.
    I feel like yelling Red Rover, Red Rover! And having a go.
    the person below me smells like cat pee and raisins...
