Stalking

No I don't do it.

How do you pass people when they are walking too slow? It is especially problematic when you are a fast walker.

I mean when you are crossing a street it is more than wide enough and that really isn't a problem. However, lets say that you are in a hallway that more than about 3 people wide can walk through. The problem lies in the fact that there is a slow walker right in the middle of the hallway. You can walk around them but in doing so you risk hitting the hall or bumping them. Both of which I would HIGHLY recommend to avoid. They are rude and geeky or both.

So what do you do? I walk behind them. I try to be patient but it never seems to work. I look for breaks and ways to get around them but it always fails. As well, you don't want to get right behind a person and violate their 1m2 person space bubble. (At least I wouldn't want mine violated)

Try to picture this now. I'm walking behind a person probably about 10 feet behind them because I can't get around them. Sometimes I'll tie my shoe because that will save time or go for the obligatory drink of water. Nevertheless, I have to resign myself to the fact that I'm likely not going to be able to get around them until we either get outside or we get to a larger hallway...some people have road rage. I have Hall Rage.

So what the hall is the big deal?

Well...almost inevitably it's a small female who I'm trailing. I'm always worried. Should I be rude and have them hopefully hear my impatience in hopes that they will be smart enough to walk around me? Should I make sighs and be annoying? Or you can do what I do and walk as quietly as possible to not appear rude.

THe reason why it makes me worried is that I'm unsure if the women are concerned that a tall guy is walking behind them quietly. Do they worry about being followed? I sure don't want to appear like a stalker either. I always hope that at the end of the hallway these females head in a direction in which I'm not going.

That way I stop stalking them and I can resume my normal walking speed.
