Today I thought I would take a step away from my normal music themed blog posts to talk about something that bothers me more then anything else. People who walk slow in public places; especially New York City.
I grew up about an hour away from NYC so I visit the city a lot. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who walk slow in the city. If you have been to the big apple, you know exactly what I am talking about. Right now you're either thinking "I hate those people too!" or you're thinking "...I think I might be one of them..."
When you are in Times Square, there is a lot to look at and I completely understand that. BUT, that does not give you permission to simply stop in the middle of a sidewalk in one of the most crowded places in the world. I have a train to make and you are stopping in my path and creating a difficult situation. You can enjoy the sights of New York at a reasonable walking pace. I promise because I do it at least four times a month.
New York isn't the only place that this walking slow problem occurs. I hate getting stuck behind people at the mall who walk slow; I am on a mission when I'm shopping. Campus is another place people cannot seem to keep up a proper walking speed.
I'm almost positive that this is an annoyance we all have at some point in our lives. Just keep this in mind next time you decided to blatantly stop in the middle of the sidewalk in Times Square, because I'm positive you are making someone angry.
