During my summer away from college, I forgot how much walking I do between going to my dorm, to class, to Starbucks to the library, so needless to say, I do a lot of walking in a day. As a self-proclaimed fast walker (and a girl who gets told to slow down by various friends), it's one of my biggest pet peeves to be behind a slow walker. Seriously, I just don't understand how people walk so slowly, and how I manage to get stuck behind these snails at least 3 times a day (and usually when I'm running late, just my luck). So here are 20 thoughts I have when I get stuck behind a slow walker.
1. Oh my god PLEASE walk faster. PLEASE.
Recommended for you
2. Can you REALLY not move your legs any faster?
3. I don't think you could walk any slower if you tried to.
4. I have places to go, eye contact to avoid, people to not talk to. Don't want to miss out on any of that.
5. Come on, come on. Hey now! Hey! Look alive.
6. :(
7. Are your legs made of lead or something? Is that why your feet are shuffling so much?
8. I've seen a snail move faster. A snail. I'm not even kidding here. A snail.
9. Have you no sense of urgency?
10. Alright I can't take this anymore.
11. *Goes in for the pass.*
12. JK someone's coming in the other way on the sidewalk.
13. Ugh I'm never going to pass you. We will have a new president before I get to class, and it's all thanks to you.
14. Ok, Ok here we go. I'm finally gonna pass this turtle.
15. Oh NOW you decide to move over on the sidewalk? Are you TRYING to make me more annoyed?
16. I don't care anymore, I'm passing you, and if I body-check you in the process, so be it.
17. Oh good, you moved over to let me pass (FINALLY). Body-check not necessary.
18. YAS I can walk at my own pace now #blessed.
19. Open sidewalk, nothing can stop me now.
20. Dear god, no. Not another.
And then the process starts all over again until I get to class, the library, or wherever I'm going (probably Starbucks). Let's just hope that I won't be too late, and tomorrow is a more promising day, filled with walkers who are slightly less sloth-like.
