Moving Like Moses

You've all been there. You are walking along an aisle at a a grocery store or through a hallway with a purpose, and someone walks out in front of you. That wouldn't be a bad thing, normally. But, this person who has cut you off walks at the speed of smell, and now you have to slow your steps so that it looks like you are in slowmo.

I think that this is one of the most awkward situations to be in. You don't want to be rude and just blow by them--mostly because you don't have enough room on either side of them to do this; therefore, you try to make it look normal and casual by looking around or pulling out your phone, not to text or call but to stare at the blank screen. It's one of the most used techniques for this kind of situation.

Because of the above situation, I am backing a bill that is in congress right now that will require supermarkets, grocery stores, retail shops, etc. to have a minimum speed limit posted throughout their stores. Think about all the awkward situations and wasted time that will be avoided if this passes...but really, don't slow everyone else up in an aisle or hallway; it's a douche move.
