People Walk how they Drive.

This is specifically true in a grocery store with carts. Actually if people drove like they pushed carts in stores, we'd all be dead now.

I think basically (and this is not a new observation obv) that it's a function of people's level of attention to the world around them in competition with their own self interest.

It was so cute the other day, this lady was pushing her two infants in one of those great shopping carts with the limo extension that looks like a car that the kids can sit in! Those kids looked so comfortable in their car compartment which expanded the size of the cart to 23 ft. long and 4 ft. wide! It was even cuter when she needed something on a low shelf, she had the kids get out and she told them which item to take off the shelf and place in the basket!

"No hunny, the low sodium extra chunky! No the blue one! No silly! That's green! Remember blue? Like your pants! Looooower! There you go! Now put it in the cart! Yaaaaaay!"


All this while giving me the "just a sec" finger when i politely say "excuse me" trying to get my peanut butter.


I mean, it was really crowded in there, but I bet her kids were learning valuable life lessons!

I actually have no problem with slow walkers. If you're outside, and just going for a stroll, whatever, doesn't bother me.

It's just the very act of getting in the way of everyone else that makes me want to kill you. It's hugely inconsiderate.

OP's premise is flawed. I drive fast and walk slow. That said, when I'm in the presence of people who walk fast or drive faster, I do my best to accommodate them.

Casinos are without question the absolute worst example of this phenomenon. The perfect storm of drunks, gawking tourists, and tottering old farts can turn a 2-minute dash to the poker room into a 10-minute death march.

I've sometimes been on tilt before even reaching the table due to having to push through a crowd of retards after enduring a 3-hour drive to AC.

Amen! Especially when you're trying to get back to the pokerroom after break praying none of them see you with a badge on and decide you're the perfect person to ask about where they moved thier favorite triple 7 diamond lucky platinum 2x pay double double bonus penny slot machine. An old timer in the business showed me the light. Everything they ask for is "just to the left of the gift shop."

When you (OOTers) are in a grocery store and someone has left their cart in the middle of an aisle, you don't immediately move it to the side?

I usually throw in some extra items like Depends and douches, provided the items aren't too far away. Otherwise, I'll just knock the cart out of the way with my own cart.

Not when they're holding onto it and standing there aimlessly looking around, wondering what they forgot in the last aisle.

They were: "The whole world is willing to wait for me because I'm so awesome!" This should pay off really big for them.
