*movie ends, credits begin to roll. I gather my things, stand up, and begin walking to the end of the row. I reach the stairs, turn to face the screen, and wait. I'm going to wait for any post credit scenes, no matter which movie I'm seeing or anyone telling methat I should stay.*

Let's go downtown and I'll show you the finest doorways and thoroughfares and we can stand in them together as people shuffle awkwardly past us all afternoon long.

Hmmmhh yea, the middle of a busy shopping center is a great place to suddenly stop walking and have a conversation with my friends while people try to get around us.
I'm going to stand in this doorway. What do you mean people need to get in or out of the doors :downs:

Seems kind of pathological to walk out of a building and then just stand there for about 5-10 seconds, figuring out what to do next. Like people can't think beyond one step at a time

I move quickly, and I am constantly irritated by people with no situational awareness who are moving slow and/or blocking me from being able to move past them whether it is driving a car or just walking around in a grocery store.

I seriously think the richer slash more well off you are the worse you are with that poo poo (on average ofc) just because the richer a person is the less likely it is that they give a poo poo about other people. Go to Oceanside, everyone is polite and quick. Go to Cardiff, everyone is milling around like a fuckwit oblivious to their surroundings. Just the other day I got hit because some retard started backing up and just kept backing up until they hit my parked car because apparently mirrors are not important.

I don't know about rich or poor, but I totally agree with you about people's lack of situational awareness. You can walk fast or slow, have a dog on a leash, push a baby stroller or use a walker, good for you. But people act like they are the only person inthe world, and definitely the only person on the sidewalk or the escalator and it is pretty silly.

the best part is how 90% of the time if you politely say "excuse me" and force them to move so you can get by they shoot you dirty looks like you just told them to go gently caress themselves

I was driving by campus and some chick was jaywalking and stopped in the middle of the street to check her text, forcing me to almost stop right infront, and then when she looked up and saw my car coming at her she had a deer in the headlights look.

that's about pretty much the least situational awareness you can get.

i almost wish it had been another oblivious driver checking their phone barreling down the street instead of me so darwin in action could take place.

I'm a cripple and have to use a cane to get around, but somehow I'm still faster than half the people I see walking around. poo poo grinds my gears. If my crippled rear end can maintain a brisk walk, so can you*

Turns out us who walk at a stressed out "get outta my way, tardfuck" level may live longer than those fuckers that always seem to be walking in groups of 3 or more wide whenever you're in a hurry

The research was carried out with pensioners but they think it applies to people of all ages in general


Spread the message or whatever and let's rid the world of the stumbling phone toting zombies that infest our major cities

Does this also apply to people who pay with checks?

This happens to me on the subway. Someone gets on, then stands there. In the narrow doorway without considering the public behind them who also need to be on the train.

I wish those people could ride underneath the train if yo know what I mean

I have special hatred for slow people in supermarkets: big fatasses who kind of slump over their trolley and scoot along veeery slowly while gasping and wheezing with the effort.

I look forward to the day when a 'Deathrace 2000' protocol is adopted and it becomes permissible to barge through the slowpokes, hammering them out of the way with my spiked trolley as I attempt to break the record for my weekly shop.

he speculates that gait speed may one day be a low-tech way for physicians to assess their patients: A slow pace could indicate a deeper problem and inspire patients to improve modifiable health factors, like blood pressure, diet, and fitness.

here's an interesting record from the 1940s that says the same:

quote:

The race seemed endless; I felt as though I had been running for years…You are too skinny, you are too weak … At last I arrived. Exhausted. When I had caught my breath, I asked Yossi and Tibi: "Did they write me down?" "No," said Yossi. Smiling, he added, "Anyway, they couldn't have. You were running too fast.…"

I began to laugh. I was happy. I felt like kissing him. At that moment, the others did not matter! They had not written me down.
