Say what you will about Dragon Wars (and there's plenty to say), but the dragons-against-military battle was insanely cool.

Dawdling Dawdlers

Dawdling: to walk around aimlessly; to waste time.

I love having my time to relax and I definitely let my mind wander sometimes, but could you please do it in your own space? Not in mine. You just love to get in my way. I assume you understand that it’s a public place? So, don’t walk around in circles and side to side in front of me. It makes me look even more stupid than you, testing my amazing dodging skills. I spring around in crazy zigzagged lines; I’m like a drunken version of those speed walkers in the Olympics.

When I go on a journey I want to get somewhere, it is incredibly annoying when you dawdlers get in my way. I know that you see me. You seem to try just that little bit harder to make sure I cannot get past. The most infuriating thing is when you actually stop in the middle of the street. Hello? Yes I am here; it is bad enough walking that slowly but to actually stop? I am walking with a purpose, not to aimlessly waste time like you.

When I make my way through town, perhaps treat myself to a bit of shopping; I completely understand walking around slowly. You’re there to browse the items. However, when you’re in the street walking from one shop to the next, do you have to walk at minus one mile an hour? It definitely just makes me look like a crazed shopaholic sprinting to get the latest shopping deals. Which I understand has some level of truth to it. I have an addiction that probably is bordering on unhealthy, but that’s another conversation.

Do you realize that you’re basically going backwards? Do you have no drive? No motivation? Dawdling dawdlers you’re just in my way.

Okay great, I’m all for relaxing and I definitely let my mind wander sometimes…but do it in your own space, not in mine. You just love to get in my way. It’s a public place yeah? So don’t walk around in circles and side to side in front of me. It makes me look even more stupid than you trying to dodge you, I'm walking crazy zigzagged lines,  I’m like a drunk version of those speed walkers in the olympics.

When I go on a journey I want to get somewhere, it’s so annoying when people get in my way and it’s like they see me there and try just that little bit harder to make sure I cant get past. They fling out their hand to point at something unnecessary, nearly whacking me in the face or the most annoying thing when they just stop in the middle of the street. Hello? Yes I am here; it’s bad enough walking that slowly but to actually stop? Some of us actually want to get places here.

Okay so it’s like when I go through town, maybe do a bit of shopping I totally understand walking around slowly in a shop cos you’re there to browse the items in the shop but when you’re in the street walking from one shop to the next do you have to walk at about minus 1 mile an hour? Just makes me look like a crazed shopaholic sprinting to get the latest shopping deals…which I guess I am, I have an addiction that probably is bordering on unhealthy, but that’s another conversation.

Okay so apparently you don’t get out of breath and you enjoy your walks so much more. But do you realize that you’re kinda going backwards? Do you have no drive? No motivation? Dawdling dawdlers you’re just in my way.
