    Paths should be divided into lanes to facilitate different types of people; fast paths for people who actually have places to be, slow paths for those just out for a wander, and dawdlers paths for tourists, shoppers, the infirm and the elderly.

    There should also be fines for people who stop in the middle of a path to look at their phones and people who congregate outside shop entrances without regard for those coming in and out.

    We tried this on the m50 with motorists. Doesn’t work.

    I'm a pretty fast walker and nothing annoys me more than slow walkers. Especially if their on a narrow path chatting to eachother while oblivious to others behind them.

    It's generally infinitely less edifying to watch somebody with all the intolerance and impatience of youthful masculinity for the old and infirm, than it is to be stuck behind the latter people in crowds.

    People grow up and usually get to their mid-30s or mid-40s and become increasingly aware of their own mortality, their own declining speed and fitness and become more tolerant and even accepting of people who don't have the seemingly immortal vigour of youth. The same people are also probably wise enough to know they are frustrated by slower people and try to avoid being in such crowds - by doing online shopping, going to actual shops at quiet times, etc. Simple little pieces of self-knowledge to stop oneself imploding and to get through this short life and its many challenges as peacefully and happily as possible.

    Please embrace maturity and wisdom, OP.
    Oh my god the condescension and smugness. Of course they didn't mention anything about old people but why verify details like that when you can go off on a self righteous rant.

    Bit ironic there, Riff.

    I think it's really inconsiderate of people (obviously not elderly people who have trouble moving) to just half assed saunter in busy areas too. I'm not speed-walking or the type who barges (also inconsiderate) I walk at a perfectly moderate pace. It's not too much to be considerate of other people in a public space, instead of away in your own world.

    As ever, the "Be nice" crowd are the ones coming across as far more intolerant, even to the point of making up sh1t that was never said or even implied.

    Yes, but the lanes would be beautifully tarmacced.

    Wet days

    You're watching out for people twirling umbrella's at eye level so you don't look down until it's too late. Then you nearly trip up over the kids on fecking leads :mad:

    I dont mind people strolling along at whatever speed, i just move around them. Some days I'm slow holding a smallie's hand, and some day i'll be a slow old man trying not to fall over.

    Its when they're 4 abreast taking up most of the footpath and yapping away with a "fcuk you all" attitude, that boils my pıss.

    They shouldn't prioritise my wants over theirs. What they should do, and what any decent human being would do, is consider other people, not just me.

    I consider other people all the time, because I'm great and deserve both parachutes. It was very windy at the bus stop yesterday, but I wanted a smoke. What do I do? I walk to the left of the shelter to ensure that my exhalations aren't blown into the faces of the innocent people to the right of me.

    That's an example of common decency that I was denied later in the day.

    Good for you, you are a prince among men and no mistake.

    Now stop and consider that some people aren't in as much of a rush as you are and they are in no way obliged to hurry up for you or to give way so you can storm on to the bus stop and have a smoke before the bus arrives.

    Maybe leave a few minutes earlier and chill the fúck out??

    Leave a few minutes earlier for what? I wasn't in a rush. You're the second person to make out like I was power-walking down Henry St and barging people out of the way because I was late for some sort of meeting or appointment.

    I wonder why this rule is not enforced on escalators and walkways in Ireland.

    Also I find people who stop suddenly at doorways for a long chat with someone they know to be very annoying. Don't block the doorways.

    I once saw someone who was talked to in this fashion take the offending person off to one side with a comment of how people needed to get by and we'll talk somewhere else out of their way.They were like an adult gently chiding a 6 year old child.

    Latest trend is people looking down at phones and bumping into and stepping on the toes of all that surround them.

    Also worth a mention are aisle blockers in supermarkets but the supermarkets are often as much to blame by stacking goods and "special offers" in the middle of the often too narrow aisles to start with. This practice of narrowing aisles should be stamped out.

    Well then you definitely need to chill.

    Some people walk fast, others walk slow, that's just life, don't let it stress you!

    These abominations are in training already. I saw evidence of it in Cork earlier this month. For the past month they've been using a treadmill on the lowest possible setting, the setting reserved for people who've had their legs blown off by an IED and are only now learning to walk again. Those poor souls have an excuse for being slow c*nts, what with being war heroes. These shams have no excuse other than being inconsiderate, as I said a year ago.

    Pure zombies like. They're lower than zombies in actual fact because zombies lack the power of conscious thought. These people are conscious - they just don't care about the inconvenience they're causing. They're totally oblivious. Do you know what sort of people are oblivious to their inconvenience? RUDE people.

    Consider your fellow man and woman this Christmas. The greatest gift we can give each other is to use the legs that we were given.

    Nobody seems to have mentioned the lovers so far - dozy couples ambling along HOLDING HANDS so that they block the entire footpath. Two slow moving gobshi*es for the price of one.

    Notice this a lot on the commute. Earphones in and body language very lethargic. Speaks volumes.
