No no no...it's harder, better, faster *stronger*. -- nm - Daft Punk Jan 7, 06:40
Theme parks molded me into the fast-walker that I am today. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 06:38

- word. I'm practically slow jogging when I walk. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 7, 06:37 24
  - One of the foundations of my marriage is that we are both fast walkers -- nm - Roger More Jan 7, 06:39 23
    - They're OK if they stick to their own kind (and to the side, out of my way) -- nm - Roger More Jan 7, 06:42 18
      - yes, out of the way. why are there always groups of like 5 slow-walkers taking up entire sidewalks? -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 06:47 17
        
        and they have to stretch all the way across. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 06:50 16
        
        and do the same thing in store aisles. Bastards -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 06:50 15
        
        if you want the city dwellers here to go nuts, let's start talking about slow walkers in the subway. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 06:51 14
        
        *exit train* *stop, look around* -- nm - Slow Walker si Jan 7, 06:55
        
        "Get out of my way or I will knock you over." -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 06:53 7
        
        don't come to a stop at the top of the elevator! -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 06:54 6
        
        My pet peeve is the escalator standers that prevent walkers from passing on the left. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 07:01 3
        
        I find that rarely happens on the subway here, but when it comes to the mall, these rules are forgotten -- nm - Roger More Jan 7, 07:03
        
        don't even get me started. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:02 1
        
        For my mental health's sake, I don't think I could take living in DC for this reason. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 07:11
        
        *gets on the train and stops in the middle of the doorway* -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 06:56 1
        
        i just push then. and i'm not that pushy. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 07:08
        
        It's "stand on the left and walk on the right" correct? Or is it "stand on the left - TWuG Jan 7, 06:52 4
        
        The real frustrating part is "take a slow step inside the train. Stop. Look around. Decide where you want to sit/stand. Move there." -- nm - Roger More Jan 7, 06:53 2
        
        some people cannot grasp that there is a crowd of moving people behind them. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 06:55 1
        
        My favourite memory of this is two people (bf and gf it seemed) are running to the train just as the doors are closing. - Roger More Jan 7, 07:01
        
        oh my god. They deserve for me to give them a hard shove in the ass with my big boot. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 06:53
    - slow walkers drive me batty. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 06:40 3
      - word -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 06:40 2
        
        The worst is when they want to join me. Me: "I'm heading out for a walk." Slow walker: "I'll join you!" - loosilu Jan 7, 06:41 1
        
        (note: Specifically referring to exercise) -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 06:42
