It is so IRRITATING!!! I just want to punch them, and they always take up the whole side walk! And you just cannot get past. What do you think?

yeah it is damn irritating especially when it is some young couple or those window shoppers i mean if their is some senior citizen they can be excused it is fine to me then they are okay and no problem but when these 'groups of friends' and all that if you know what i mean who have got no work to do just act like road hoggers at that time it is really very irritating i guess a simple ' excuse me ' should do it but sometimes even that wont work so i feel like kicking them form behind but i know that aint the right thing to do so just step aside and walk past them and then it is your turn to walk even slower!

lol. That's funny. I should try that sometime. That is, if I'm not in a hurry. ^__^

Yeah but sometimes you can't even step around them, and your stuck and they know you are there but they won't move. It makes me angry just thinking about it! Thanks for sharing:)

Yeah sometimes you just want to teach them a lesson. But violence is just not the way. I just wish people could be innately considerate, the world would be a much better place:)

Yeesh! It drives me crazy! And people do it all the time at my work! And then they walk in 2s or 3s when there is only room to walk single-file. And they talk & stop suddenly -- expecting me to stop on a dime for them! Ugh!!!

yes, it is irritating to see such people walking slowly in front of me. but if they are old people, then i can forgive them, and i will find a chance to go in front of them. if they are youngers, then i feel very angry, especially when i am busy. sometimes i will go through the space between people in front of me, then star at them for a second.

I even get angry with old people sometimes, even though you can sympathize. I always walk through them and just wait for a comment so i can yell at them. In Africa it is considered rude to go around two people in a conversation. It is common courtesy to go through them. Isn't that weird? Thanks for sharing:)

Yes! It makes my blood boil. Especially if I'm in a hurry. There was an instance, a girl was blocking the exit gate, talking to someone who's inside. I bumped her hard, very inconsiderate. But most of the time, to the "walking in the park" pedestrians, I just say excuse me.

I know what you mean. And it always seems to happen when you are in a hurry. Murphy's law right? Yeah if they want to be inconsiderate and stand in the way, we should be considerate to everyone else and push them out the way!
