"Push, Mrs. Weaver! Push, Mrs. Spinner!"
I'm sure you've seen the people in the supermarkets who
just rove slowly in the way?
Or the people who seem to stay in one spot in the aisle
with their cart, spinning it around as if they're caught
in some kind of vortex?
My theory is that their mothers pushed them into the
world at the precise moment that would allow them
to be in MY way on a given day.
But maybe that's a bit "Mr. L-centric"..... :)

Hmm, I'm surprised. I only notice really old people doing this. Something we have no shortage of here in Florida. If your push theory is correct, they are all collecting here now. But I will outlive them so clear aisles aren't that far away.
In NH it's "all ages", for some reason. We're just lucky, I guess!
Oh man, don't get me shtaw-ted on those women. Then they stop and gaze at something as if they're stoned, then they slooooooowly move ahead two inches. I stop breathing till I can get past.
in London commuter speak they are sometimes refered to as SMOs (Slow Moving Objects). Londoners generally get where they are going so tourists and other SMOs are operating in a different space time continuum.
