Pedestrian traffic is one of my pet peeves.
I'm trying my best to get somewhere on time, but along the way the slow moving masses are thwarting my efforts at punctuality. They take up the whole footpath, their big, blubbery arses congealing into one impregnable wall that prevents me overtaking. Meandering along, big empty eyes panning the landscape in every direction but mine, big useless ears deaf to my plaintive cries of "Excuse me, please"
Can we move a bit faster, people???
In the supermarket it's at it's worst. While they're trying to decide between Helga's or Noble Rise their trolley's jackknife across the aisle like a fucking train wreck and the store is transformed into an impossible gauntlet of lazy, stupid beasts and irritating obstacles. For Christ's sake- we have express aisles at the checkout, can we show the same ingenuity in the store itself? Fat, dumb slowpokes to the right, and the organised, efficient crowd down the left.
Am i being pedantic or am i justified in affixing a giant horn to my head so i can honk the brainless cattle out of my way??

Oh god, if you do the giant horn thing, PLEASE patent it and mass-produce it so I can buy one.....!!! ;-)
(Also, at the risk of sounding non-family-friendly, what about the huge groups of extended families who seem to have decided "the family that shops together, etc" - the menfolk meander slowly through the aisles chatting, about half an aisle behind the women who are actually doing all the work. Makes you feel like going postal right there in the middle of Woolies/Coles/Franklins/
Quik-E-Mart/wherever!...)
I'm going to call it "THE DUMB BELL" and it's going honk the tune of the Mexican Hat Dance at maximum volume. Perhaps i could get a slot on one of those morning show things (do they still have Moira??)and get your testemonial as yet another satisfied consumer..*ahem*.. i mean "customer"..
I think to get one of those morning show slots, you have to sign a contract which involves a massive dose of Botox just prior to shooting each segment....
And have one of those really annoying, sing song voices that resemble a mother trying to talk to their toddler...
Good post.

This is precisely what I used to be searching for! Thank you!
