100m Dash

When you're walking down the street behind someone but they're walking slightly slower than what you are, what do you do?

Do you pick up speed and try and overtake or do you just stay behind and slow down?
Do you try and speed up to a speed that makes you look like your about to start running passed them?

But what happens when you pass them. You slow down. But what if you walk too slow for them? Do they overtake? Are they allowed to?

Is there a walking etiquette? Some sort of guidelines to follow?

I'm full of questions today.

this question comes up many times when i am walking behind slowpokes.

the first thing to do is gauge how slow the person in front is walking and see if there are any potential obstacles that could slow you down during the speed up and overtake process.

i choose the speed up and overtake process just because you can look at them with glee and victory as you speed past them to let them know that they are walking too slow and should stay home and contemplate forever coming in 2nd their whole life.

after you speed past you keep going at this pace, because everyone knows life is too fast to be a slowpoke.

fucken win!
