Couples

[diaperedteenager]

Is anyone else with me on this one? I hate when couples walk REALLY slow in public. Like you'll be walking to your class, in a rush and it never fails. You run into a couple and they are walking REALLY slow! and you can't pass them. I also hate when they are kissing and flirting with eachother, it disgusts(SP) me!

What if the couple usually never gets to see eachother, and is making most of the moment?

I think girls in general walk slowly, it's annoying! And the more of them there are the slower they get...

I hate it when you're in a busy place and people decide to suddenly *stop*, just right there when I'm behind them. I just barge though them.

I have no problem with people kissing and flirting in public though (as long as it doesn't interfere with the flow of people walking), as longs as they're not humping each other, just don't look.

I have issues with major snogging in public, and I hate hate hate when slow people walk in front of me! It was really hard for me coming from living in London where everythings a race, to Scotland where no one walks at a decent pace - arrggh!!

I hate when anyone walks slow in front of me...It makes me wish I had a machete or something...It's even more annoying when you're walking, and someone stops right in front of you...Usually I'm thinking (or sometimes I'll say) "Yeah, just stop right there"

It's annoying. Very annoying. Sometimes I'll say (if it's someone I don't personally know) "Um, excuse me, can you please keep going?"
but they ignore me, like the asses they are :c

This is why I have developed my parkour skills. Someday I will be able to sideflip over these slow walkers and freak them out.

Occasionally, but most of the time I find the problem is easily solved by politely stepping to the left and passing them.

As for couples, my gf walks pretty slow, so I can't help that . People need to take it easy and learn to relax and enjoy the scenery every once in a while.

And if someone is really blocking your way and you can't safely pass, politely excuse yourself and good chance they'll let you pass. If you're rude about it, I'd ignore you too.

I think everyone in front of me walks to slow. Walking slowly really bores and frustrates me, so I walk fast everywhere. And for some reason I don't really like overtaking people (I do, it's just I may really really hate doing it depending on several factors based on the person/people. For example, I probably wouldn't even bother trying to overtake a group of people about my age - I'd cross to the other side of the street or something. But I wouldn't mind so much if it was just one person who was older than me). So it gets really annoying.

I've never noticed couples walking noticeably slower than anyone else, though. And I'm not really bothered by people kissing in public - I think they're totally stupid, but I'm not gonna stop them doing it.

I just weave in and out, Crater-Style. Really. It's not like every hallway you walk in is a one-way one-person deal! The things I get annoyed with are big groups of people standing blocking something. Especially when they give you a threatening look when you scoot by them.

I agree 100% with you. As long as they don't slow me down or interfer with my walking it is fine. If they do i'll usually shove them out of the way. I heard in China that it is cutomary to shove people out of the way if they walk to slow.

I'll usually just say like "get out of my way" or "get the hell out of my way", depends on my mood. It also depends how old the people are, if they're younger than me then that means i hold senority over them and i will tell them off.

I'm with Jack on this one - I walk rather fast, so most people are too slow for my likes. That means I generally walk past, around or in front of people, swerve through busy streets like a police car on an emergency run through a busy road, and I generally walk right through groups that block entranceways or stop unexpectedly right ahead of me, quite often accompanied by a very loud and clear "Excuse me" or "May I go through there?" or "Look out!". I don't stop though - if they don't move out of the way, their problem. I do the same when riding my bike when there are people walking on the bicycle path. Ring my bell and yell but don't slow down. I've already bumped into at least two people that way (usually middle-aged women in large groups).

I really only have a problem with couples when they interfere with the flow of traffic. I know a lot of people have said this, but I didn't feel like multiquoting so many people.

When I'm in school, walking between classes, I'll be muttering under my breath the entire time, or rather, almost the entire time. This is typical of me when I'm in school between class:

"Zap.. Zap... Half-zap... Zap.. Zap."

My head will be flicking in various directions as I look at people.

What am I doing, you ask?

I'm looking at all the people interfering with traffic. If you're walking on the wrong side, or if you're just standing in the middle of the hallway or something, you get fully zapped by my imaginary electrically charged floor, which I think the school should have. If you're standing against the lockers, making an effort to be out of the way, you only get half-zapped.

 

[Serendiapity]

Yes, and the stupid lovey-dovey high school seniors looking like they came staight out of a Viagra ad!

 

[diaperedteenager]

I hate Freshmen that act like that the most!!!!

 

[Mr Alex]

I only hate couples because that is something us tards cant seem to get.

Walking slow sucks, bigass groups in the middle of the hallway sucks more.

 

[m8mamiya]

Well sad to say, i probably contributed to this problem back in high school! Not in the school itself but in the mall mostly. I really dont see the problem if there is lots of room, but couples who take up a whole walkway are the ones that annoy me.

 

[lost-lotus]

I hate freshmen
