Walking is simple: you move your legs back and forth, and go at a comfortable pace.

But every once in awhile, when you’re strolling down the hall on your way to your next class, excited for a new learning adventure, your pace is slowed down to that of a snail and you realize you’re stuck behind a slow walker.

You look around, poking your head to the left and to the right to see if you can squeak your way by them, but it appears that won’t be possible without having to forcefully shove some innocent student into a locker.

You clench your fists and ask the gods, “Why must you do this to me?”

Being forced to move at such a minuscule speed when you’re trying to get from class to class in a timely manner always puts a burden on your day. It’s even worse when you’re traversing the school from one extremity to the other. 

Students who are slow walkers need to learn to speed up, or get out. It’s as easy as that.

Possibly the only thing worse than a slow walker is someone who doesn’t even walk at all. They just cease right in the middle of the hallway. When you crash into their back and are forced to stop dead in your tracks, you think, “Hey, I didn’t know I was going to be smelling your hair today, but it’s fine.” Then you exchange fake apologies, as if either of you actually feel bad about what just occurred, and continue on.

This is aggravating because the purpose of the hallway is to walk to arrive at your other class, and the lobby is where you should be stopping and conversing, so save it.

If after reading this you realize you are a culprit of either of the offenses aforementioned, you should take a long while to think about your actions, and consider how you can better yourself as a citizen.
