In my personal opinion, this has become a completely inappropriate subject for a site of this kind.
And Wilf is not just any person, ya know.
This discussion has indeed gone beyond the bounds of this site. The admins politely ask that we move on to other annoyances...there's no shortage of them, certainly.

I have edited out all mentions of the teacher's name.

Believing there is no god gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O, and all things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have. (Penn Jillette)

I love how the only time that these very same slow people move quickly is when they speed up to get in front of you.

What is it with that? I have had people make the most strenuous efforts to get in front of me, and they then stop. Believe me, I make a big fuss about walking right the way around them.

Oh- and what about the people walking 3 across towards you- you are squeezed on one side by a building and can't move in the other direction because of the posse, AND THE BITCH ON THE END DOESN'T MOVE OVER! So there you are, stopped, because you can't get passed her or move any closer to the skyscraper on the other side, and this annoying twit (just replace the vowel with another vowel to understand the depth of my annoyance) pushes into you as she's walking and talking to her friend, and has the unmitigated gall to sigh loudly and roll her eyes.
Can you tell that this happened to me yesterday? And I was hungry and cold at the time which ups my ability to be annoyed by a factor of 10.
EDIT: I suppose this is what I get for walking to and from work through the Times Square area.

People who get on the elevator and push the button for the next floor. Take the freakin' stairs!

Came back from lunch, parked on bottom level of garage. Got in elevator with someone. Pushed my floor (6 floors up).
She pushes the button for the next floor of the garage where she could go over the enclosed walkway to the next building over. Ride elevator one floor to save energy for walk of about 100 yards.

seriously, sometimes otherwise healthy and fit looking people can have genuine medical reasons for not climbing stairs.
