So, this seems to happen often... walking down the sidewalk, walking through the main walkways at work, the grocery store, etc.

What do you guys do in these situations whenever someone is walking much slower in front of you?

Do you:

A. Walk past them quickly and say nothing
B. Walk by and politely say excuse me
C. Stay behind

    I usually do B too, but sometimes I feel like I am rude walking past or something. Call me weird. Ha.

    A ......but only if it is someone my age or younger . If they are senior citizen B and usually throw in a have a great day as I pass... what if I am the only one to talk to that senior that day....then that would suck. Then I wonder how far they are walking and do they need assistance.... oh gawd. I over think shizza

    Me too.

    In my head I scream, "GET THE *KITTEN* OUT OF MY WAY," but it comes out as, "excuse me, sorry, thank you."

    This...exactly

    What about when you need an item at the grocery store and someone is standing right in front of where you need to be? Do you push on in and get what you need, or act like you're really looking at something else until they move out of the way?

    Glad I am not the only one. People just pizz me off in general. Sigh.

    What about when you hear someone give bad advice or wrong information in a conversation that you are not a part of.

    Do you speak up and butt in to the conversation, or just let it go?

    This happens to me often at work, and sometimes randomly at a grocery store or something.

    Or I just sneak past them if there's room. Or jump into the street to go around them (I always do this with dog walkers).

    I usually go with A, but on the occasion where I try that and they just so happen to step to the side as well and cut me off?

    could we re-enact this? But in a slower more gentle manner, and pantsless?

    Sure but which of us gets to be the big spoon?

    Personally, I would walk past them. Say "Good morning or Good afternoon" depending on the time. Being rude to someone because they don't walk as fast or have the same gait or stride as you is wrong.

    I am that guy that might be walking slower than you. I take a 5 mile walk through trails by my home about 5 times a week. I do it to relax and forget about the stress of the day. I usually grab a cigar and head out. Getting rude in my face would just get you a face full of cigar smoke. And that's the nicest scenario.

    This happened the other day. I overheard they were headed for the onions, but they were still parked in front of the lemons. I said, "Excuse me, I'm just going to get some lemons. Thanks." and punched one of them in the face. Okay, the last part is a lie, but I did make my citrus needs known and enter their space briskly with lemon-getting intention.
