Anyone ever been in that situation where you have about two minutes until class time and you just happen to get behind the slowest walker possible?
Not just the people who walk at a slow pace. I am talking about those who are almost at a stand still they are walking so slow.
Happens to me all the time.
In fact, I feel like it only happens to me when I have somewhere to be. It's like that slow person knows that the person behind them has somewhere to be, but I am going to take my time anyway.
Sometimes you even try to get by them in that fast pace by dodging to the right or left of them, but no, something always seems to get in the way.
The other day I was actually running really late for one of my classes, and this just happened to be the class where the teacher is a stickler for punctuality. And, of course, I get behind the girl who just wants to walk a slow as she can so she can basque in the sun and notice all the pretty leaves falling from the trees.
MOVE IT SISTER!
Sometimes I don't think people realize some of us have lives, and do not have the time to take in the beauty of nature.
I try to be as patient as I possibly can, but I'm only human, right?
It just so happens I was three minutes late to my class. And, of course, I get that eat poop and die look from my teacher as I hurry to get to my seat.
What I really wanted to do was explain to her that I blame those who take their precious time to stroll around campus.
So I ask you, what's the deal?

My deal is...
It's very rare that I am in a hurry even when it's apparent that I should be in a hurry. However, when my friends and I are walking, we pay attention to if someone is seeming to be in a hurry and we step aside to let them through. I think slow walkers should at least have enough courtesy to do that.
it really seems that you only get behind slow people when you have somewhere really important to be. Or maybe we just don't realize that people walk slow unless we're in a hurry? I honestly don't know. It can be a problem though, I'll definitely agree with that.
this blog is the story of my life. no lie.
Here's the deal:
Too many munchkins and oldsters talking on their cell phones and trying to chew gum and walk.
Lucky if we as humans can do just one of those things well.
I feel your pain, sister.
