Oh goody. Another "disorder".
Disorder my ass. People have just become impatient, spoiled, arrogant asses who think everyone else around them should automatically accommodate their needs because they're busier/more important, blah, blah, blah. What they really need is to learn some manners and patience, and get off their high horses. Like it was back in the olden days.

I can understand being frustrated, and slowing to a crawl you're not used to, but that is frustration and not a disorder.

Arctic_Menace Arctic_Menace: I can understand being frustrated, and slowing to a crawl you're not used to, but that is frustration and not a disorder. Of course it is, but to admit that is to accept responsibility for your own actions. That's becoming increasingly unacceptable. And - it takes the heat off their parents for not teaching them any manners.

How about when I have 10 minutes to get across campus (usually 15 minutes casual) and a group of people decided to take a nice slow stroll right in front of me?

Either go around them or ( in ONLY as loud a voice as is necessary) say " Excuse me. May I get past you, please"?

Just swiftly move up behind the one whom you determinte to be the weakest one, give him/her a good hard punch to the back of the head, and they will automatically stumble forward out of your way, allowing you clear passage to get on with your much more important business!

That could go the other way as well, such as not stopping in the doorway of a business to have a chat or answer the phone or whatever. Meh, when rats are packed in too tight they turn on each other as well.

Is it really so rude to expect people to not take up the whole sidewalk with their slow walking? I'm not the only one with places I'd rather be than stuck behind a bunch of oblivious strollers when it's freezing cold outside.

It's a very simple solution. (Works for road rage as well).

I have a question... Why is it that when 2 people stop to talk, be it on a sidewalk or in a corridor, they ALWAYS stand on opposite sides of said sidewalk or corridor, forcing everyone walking by to cut between them?

Still, lousy planning is not anybody else's business but yours, no matter who scheduled it that way. That you are in a hurry is your problem, not theirs.
People taking up doorways, side walks and not seeing that they could set a step aside so people can really go on their way is plain rude.
