I take a train to work everyday. In fact, two. And that's one-side. I need to negotiate one of the most filthiest stations in all of Suburban Mumbai for that, and believe me, I would like to get done with it quickly. Besides, I'm almost always late for work.
So when I'm stuck walking behind a silly lady who takes ages to crawl a few steps, or walk a few feet, I feel like punching her from behind her head. And its not just the women. So, instead of just walking slightly faster, these smart-alecs cross the tracks instead. Wonderful.
So I'm being mean. Sue me. But these are perfectly healthy men and women who could be role models for the DRDO. Its as if they aren't using their legs at all, they're just thinking they're walking fast. And they never give way to others at all. And when you finally overtake them, believe me, it gives yourself a huge sense of achievement. Are they scared that their feet might pop off from their sockets in the ankles if they use them too much?
What do you tell such people? Do you tell them that their feet might decay of gangrene due to excessive inactivity ?
The best part is that you will find the same people sweating it out at the gym at 6 in the evening.

I too hate ppl who walk slow... and fatso esp... block the way!!
but dear, don't forget as compared to you everyone will be slow... you almost run and thanks you your height, your strides are longer than anyone else :P
Maybe you missed out on the last line. Its an attack against those people only.
well i travel by a local bus from class to home and nothing is more irritating than butt-heads who wont give you a seat 'cause it's the men's side and girls aren't supposed to sit there.is that a rule laid down in stone? what happened to good old chivalry?
@Avi: Maybe its just about equality. Isn't that exactly what women have been demanding for centuries?
I know it is irritating to walk behind slow moving people.
But if there was one thing I learnt from travelling in public transport in India, it was the virtue of patience!
So patience young man!
@Nita: Haven't you seen that silly advertisement on TV? Some bloody youth mantra-"Impatient". Was it Airtel? ;)
@purnoor
hey i'm all for equality! i gave up my seat for an old uncle. but whn 20 yr olds decide to leer at you and stare with tht disgustingly transparent expression you kinda want to punch them in the gut.
It's Airtel broadband - "Impatience is the new life".
And which is this filthy part of suburban Mumbai you negotiate very day?
(Which encompasses: "You're working in Mumbai? Since when?!)
haha..nice post. Yes people walk in front of you as if they own the road! And whats worse is they know it!
Balls to chivalry
