Reckless Hallway Drivers

I knew it was only a matter of time until I had to blog about this.

The hallways at school are kind of like a two-lane highway. Between classes are the "rush hours" where people are trying to get from place to place. Or at least SOME people. When I go into the hallway after class, I usually mean business. But there's always challenges that come with trying to navigate the hallway highway. Here are a few:

1. The Slow Driver
It always happens. And usually only when you REALLY want to get somewhere too. You get stuck behind someone who's going at the speed of a snail, and as luck would have it, there's usually too much of a crowd for you to move around them. It's very frustrating. But you know what else is frustrating?

2. The Couple
Ooh, I have a personal vendetta against this one. Mostly because my locker is a magnet for gross displays of hormones. ("God in Heaven, I just want to put my Calculus book away! STOP THAT! Don't you need to breathe?!") One of the worst things about couples is that they're famously slow drivers as well. So now you're stuck behind two people who don't give a crap that you have places to go. Hand-holding makes this even more difficult, as you can't just push through.

3. The Roadblock
If you've been to a high school, you know the one. Though it's more likely a group of people than just a single person. These road blockers will stand right in the middle of the freakin' hallway and thereby make it ten million times more difficult for responsible drivers to pass. A few times I've noticed my own friend group doing this, and I freak out every time. Shoving may ensue. "We're doing that thing that I hate! Get out of the way! Before we become one of THEM!"

4. The Motorcycle
This one may seem a little confusing if you don't share my  biased view of motorcycles. I'm talking about the motorcycles that constantly weave in and out of traffic, cutting off whoever is in their way. Those ones. They definitely in high school. Almost the opposite of the slow driver, motorcycles will cut you off because, darn it, they have things to do that are obviously more important than manners. Changing lanes abruptly in a high school highway is dangerous and just frelling annoying. It needs to be stopped. I recommend something with piranhas.

I'm sure that at least one of you has had an encounter with one of these terrible drivers. (if you haven't, you obviously have never even been IN a high school) Which driver type mentioned here do you dislike the most? And do you have any solutions as to how to deal with the jerkfaces? Do tell. :)

  1. Oh no... I'm a frelling motorcycle. ^.^' Sorry. That's my best way of getting past the couples, slow drivers and road blocks. I'll work on it though... or at least not directly cut anyone off completely. Also I'll try to not start doing the couple thing and I will definitely not be doing the display of hormones in front of the lockers thing. I'm so happy you posted again~ and an indirect farscape reference! YAY~

    1. XD Bahaha, you do have motorcycle tendencies. But in some cases, that IS the only way to get around all the other bad drivers. XP
      Good! You'd better not! That'd just be weird. O_o
      Glad you caught it, haha! :D I'll try and be more consistent with my posts.

    2. Thank you for your understanding hahaha I'll avoid being super annoying in the future with the motorcycle-ness, but as you know I'm not so prejudice against motorcycles :).
      That would be really weird ^.^'
      I always enjoy your posts. They make me feel like I can't write though.

  2. Mari and Brian are definitely Slow Drivers. XP

    My least favorite is the Roadblock. I mean, hallway congestion is a serious problem, and they're not helping in any way whatsoever.

    1. Oh yes. Definitely. ><
      Yeah, that is a big one. I get really worried, especially at lunch time, because of our ever-growing group prowling the halls. I worry that we're just one giant roadblock. :/
