- Hallways, my fellow peever, hallways. The oblivious fools that walk
- down a hallway, holding a conversation, unable to walk, talk, *and*
- detect the presence of anything else.
-
- I must be half-invisible some days - these fools actually walk right
- into me, while *I'm* standing still. I've taken to the childish practice
- of placing my feet where the offenders will likely trip, *then* some
- self-preservation mechanism kicks in and I get the classic ocular daggers
- from them - and they think *I* was inconsiderate! hah.

- Then there's another whole category of people who have no concept of
- how ___wide___ they are. I mean, I don't mind fat people, even obese
- people, if they can handle hygeine and dont sit in an airplane seat
- overlapping me, but the ones that walk down the hall as if
- they were thin, and expect *me* to duck into a cross-hallway or
- something just to get past. bah.
-
- There's even similar offenses BDI's do with their cars. sheesh.
