Something that bothers me probably more than it should....

[SomethingClever]

Overweight people in my office taking the elevator from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, or 3 to 4. Or vice versa.

I take it from 1 to 4, and there is always some clown making a one story trip.

I mean, honestly, it's one flight of stairs, and you could use the exercise.

[TStoneMBD]

you lazy putz. i bet tony danza doesnt take the elevator for 4 measly flights.

[jokerthief]

That bothers me as well.

[istewart]

People that walk really slowly on narrow sidewalks are worse.

It's actually only 3 measly flights. I do it every time. And yes, there are a ton of lardo's taking the elevator, but that leave the stairs open for me.

Yes. The worst are healthy, full grown adults who don't get out of my way when I'm running. Often in pairs holding hands, etc. they could easily get out of my way but nooo they make me go around them. I hate people who don't respect exercisers right to the sidewalk.

hahahah....i do it often as well...i have a longer than avg stride, so I don't expect people to walk as fast...its the same people you can hear huffing and making little noises when you pass them on an escalator or something....there's obviously nothing wrong with any of this as long as you don't physically bump or brush up against the person in order to make it obvious they're pissing you off /images/graemlins/smile.gif

That would be inconsiderate of handicapped people. I always get out of the way of the handicapped when running, it's just standard. I'm talking about the douchebag people walking hogging the sidewalk when they're fully capable of getting out of the way.

Slow down and smell the roses. Sidewalks are not gyms

[tdarko]

i agree.

i lived in connecticut for a little while and i was a member of this gym (b/c it was the only one close) and it was one of those globo-gym types. long story short it had an elevator in it and the elevator dropped you off at none other than the cardio room.

nothing pissed me off more than watching fat women taking the elevator to get to a treadmill /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Fat is the new thin.

It's faster for me to take the 'vator than to climb 3 flights, so that's why I take it.

do they have eyes in the back of their heads? do you say something to let them know you're coming (eg, "on your left!")?

For those who can't see me I get out of the way, but for those coming in the opposite direction who can see me and are fully able, it'd be nice if they moved a bit. It'd be very easy for me to hurt myself on a hidden root in the ground, among other possibilities, whereas since they're going slowly they won't hurt themselves.

Once again, sidewalks are NOT gyms.

[Soul Daddy]

I let stuff like this bother me too. I have no idea why, it's not like I'm ever in a real hurry at work. Yet I find myself very ticked about lazy fucks that do this. My frustration is a source of amusement for my friends who take elevators with me, they actually look forward to stopping on 3 on the way down from 10, just to see the look on my face.

Did I say they were? I'm not asking people to throw themselves into oncoming traffic, but if you're taking a leisurely stroll, you can get take one step out of the way, it's not difficult, and like I've said, it's much, much more likely for someone running to get hurt by a above ground root than it is someone standing still. Also, to switch perspectives, why do they have more right to the sidewalk than I? Why don't I just crash into them? There's no reason for me to move, they can walk within the comfort of their living room.

[tbach24]

that wasn't really my point. he was saying that if i'm running, i should go to a gym. my point is that i have as much right to the sidewalk as them, and should take priority due to likelihood of injury. i was offering them a reasonable alternative.

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

Meh. You shouldn't be running on the sidewalk anyway. It's bad for your shins.

You are looking at this too literally. Sidewalks are for people to get from place to place safely. Those who are walking have the right of way. If you want to run outside, do so but stop worriying about roots, gopher holes, culverts, sinkholes, slick grass, quicksand, nettles, and any other impediments. If you choose to run then put up with the little inconveniences.

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

How about people taking the elevator down one floor - 3 to 2 or 2 to 1?

For the record, I was not replying to your post about stairs. I was referring to going around people on the sidewalk if they are walking slower than I am.

People who take the elevator for 1 floor piss me off too.

[djoyce003]

no this pisses me off as well....my company has 5 floors and there are always people getting on the elevator on 29 and riding it up to 30....i mean honestly, take the stairs you lazy ass. I could see 2-5 floors, but jeez one flight of stairs, come on. Especially annoying are the ones that take the elevator down 1 floor...like it requires any effort at all to walk down the stairs.

[lem45216]

I got pissed off at fat people taking the lift at my college for 1 floor journeys. So, in my own immature way, i stuck 'Out of Order' signs on all the lifts. No one ever argues with an out of order sign.

[Recliner]

Ahahahaha, awesome.

[Sephus]

i'm in good shape and i almost always use the elevator, even to go down 1 flight.

exceptions are when the stairs are closer.

[LethalRose]

I never use the elevator, and I usually park very far away from wherever im going, this translates into 10ibs a year..

and yea, I see people doing this all the time and make fun of them often.

[STLantny]

I cant believe anyone is disagreeing/giving tback a hard time. I HATE when that happens. Lets walk as slow as possible, and take up a whole sidewalk with our fat ass, so people who have things to do cant walk by. Arg. I want to stab them sometimes.
