Of People and Walking.

I'm the kind of person who's slightly antisocial but easily adaptable... I like my alone time... VERY much and if you happen to intrude on my alone time, woe betide you... However, I'm also okay with a group of people, if I feel like it... =P

So yeah, what I'm trying to say is, I'm fairly moody but in general not a people person...

Which is probably what leads to today's rant on annoying people walking...

I went in to get groceries today and the mall was slightly crowded... I went around noon so heaps of people were in there getting their lunches... And that's totally fine...

My beef is - THEY KEEP GETTING IN MY WAY!

I walk fast, which probably isn't a good idea cos I'm easily like one of the clumsiest people on Earth, I like knowing where I'm headed and just going there... Not so for most people I realise...

Now don't get me wrong... I'm not the kind of person who'll walk up an escalator to save like three seconds, but when I'm on the move, I'm ON THE MOVE...

Anyway, a total of three times in the space of an hour I was walking in the crowd when suddenly the person in front of me decides for no reason whatsoever to just stop dead in their tracks...

Now why would you do that? Hmmm? Why would you walk at a nice, brisk pace and then suddenly just stop abruptly to look around? There are no signs around you, you're not in front of a shop, you don't seem to have bumped into someone you know... So why? To annoy me? To become the bane of my existence? WHY?!

Then walking home I was passing the bus stop when this guy who was standing there looked up at me and JUST a step before i would've been passing in front of him he decides to take a step forward resulting in a very near collision...

Once again... WHY?! WHY?! The bus stop sign wasn't there where I was walking... The bus hadn't come yet... WHY WOULD YOU MOVE SUDDENLY LIKE THAT?

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP GETTING IN THE WAY AND PISSING ME OFF?!

WHY PEOPLE WHY?



People are strange when you're a stranger... Faces look ugly when you're alone...

I too crave that alone time. 8 hours working at a 9 to 5 job having to sell something to people? arrggghhh couldnt think of anything more offensive hehehe.

Why is it, that during these walking cycles, the slow couple always manages to be in front of you at the narrowest part of the mall (or wherever you are) and there is no way to overtake without literally barging past.

forget road rage, i've got walkers rage.

Maintain the RAGE!!!
