Ever since your best to worst show my walks to work have become much more enjoyable. Now when I get stuck behind a "What is this Reservoir Dogs" group I chuckle to myself rather than stew in a silent rage. I think they need to be moved up a bit now.
Thanks Tom!!!

This has been happening to me as well. I used to get soooo angry walking around in Manhattan, trying to get the @%&$#! past people on the narrow sidewalks. Now that simple phrase cools my jets.

I was walking with 3 friends yesterday and the 4 of us created a formation of "What is this Resevoir Dogs"! I quickly realized and was so ashamed I dropped back to walk behind them. Then it was just me trailing them and one friend asked why I was lagging. I should have responded with the correct phrase.

There's really nothing wrong with walking like that, as long as you're not on a busy street. If you're walking like that and there are people behind you or coming at you, that's when it's terrible.

It's even worse in a narrow, crowded school hallway- at least as frustrating and much more claustrophobic.

at least when they're walking, they're still moving. can we all agree that a far more egregious error is when you're in a hallway and there is foot traffic going in both directions, and someone just STOPS? what the hell is that about? pull over to the side, people!
i hate this at airports and the farmers market, especially. i'm trying to do my thing, here. keep it moving.
-
Around here, people driving in opposite directions will often stop their vehicles in the middle of the road in order to have a chat. I sort of love it.
-
I witnessed baby geese slowly waddling their way across a busy street firsthand yesterday, and Tom did not overstate the greatness of that moment.
-
I say we coin a phrase for this slow walking phenomenon. R-Dogging. As in "Sorry I was late, I was R-dogged by three old ladies on the way in".
On second thoughts that might create confusion.
-
I saw 8 baby ducks following their mother close up, about an hour ago. Totally awesome. I almost want to go check out Brooklyn Vegan just to make sure those commenters really suck.

I'm re-visiting old Flin Flion and Unrest albums, and am more of a self-loathing smoker than ever! (in a good want-to-quit way)
