Imagine you are taking a nice walk on a bright sunny day. Wind blowing your hair, sweet smell of flowers, and sun glistening on your skin. Your walk seems perfect but suddenly an object blocks your path: a slow walker. Attempting to dodge the slow walker, you veer to the side to pass by politely. Unfortunately, the slow walker hedges your attempts. Your perfect walk is now ruined, all because of the slow walker, and you feel rude for trying to pass by unsuccessfully.
There is truly nothing I hate more than slow walkers–except maybe chocolate. Slow walkers are the epitome of an inconvenience. Quite literally, they are in your way, and most of the time impossible to avoid. As someone who walks abnormally fast, I understand that most people will not walk as fast as I do. However, there are a handful of people who walk painfully slowly. It is excruciating. I never want to come off as rude by passing them but also, I feel rude for walking right behind them. Embarrassingly, this situation happens more often than you would think. While walking with my friends around school, they tend to keep up with my faster pace because they know I always walk fast. Despite how often I voice my hatred of slow walkers, my friend, Raina Shah, treads through life as slow as a snail thus making me feel bad because she always has to run to keep up. Although she does not walk slowly on purpose, people who walk slowly on purpose are the ones who really aggravate me; in particular, the ones who walk slowly and will not move have proven to be the worst. I will never understand why slow walkers always seem to walk in the middle of the sidewalk and often disregard the people behind them who want to pass them respectfully. By far, slow walkers are the biggest inconvenience of all time.
