    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...

    Love this thread. We are both fast walkers and totally agree on all counts, although I have to say while on vacation I have been guilty (on occasion) of said offense. Not any more! :D

    100% agree.

    I've always been a fast walker. I can't stand to get stuck behind the slo-mos and while I have never physically pushed someone out of the way....with the exception of the PJ/U2 concert when the people in front of me were moving s l o w as I heard the PJ intro begin....I had to squeeze my way a bit forcefully down the aisle to my seat...but I digress.....

    stay to the side slow pokes and get out of my way!

    I'm relieved to know it's an international phenomenon.

    I am dismayed, however, to learn that NYC has become a slow walker town. :mad:

    I wonder if they still have that fast walker lane in London.

DRINK SOME AMP! DO A LINE! do something but get out of my freaking way! n don't give me a dirty look when i push past you k?

    The worst part is I'm not talking about tourists (although they do suck) or old people (they can't help being slow). I can spot tourists easily by their deer in the headlights look or their xtra large map that they're using to locate the WTC site because the signs all over the street pointing them there just aren't obvious enough and plan accordingly to manuever around them. I'm talking about this young punk kids (mind you I'm only in my 20's) that are in their late teens-early twenties that walk in packs and are this close to getting a size 12 up their ass if they don't start moving faster. To the fast walkers on here who agree Happy Holidays! :D

    Great thread!

    I agree with all above comments.

    And on Escelators, PLEASE stand on the right, and walk on the left!!!!
    They do this well in Britain, N. America not so much.
    This sidewalk is for regular walking, not for fancy walking!
