Self awareness

Yesterday I was trying to leave a store and there was an extremely slow person in front of me. They centered themselves in the middle of a large double door, making it impossible to go around them on either side. I found it frustrating,  although I did not press into them or say anything.  Today, I was walking down a back aisle with a cart and a woman started to turn out of an aisle in front of me. She then stopped and backed up and stated she's slow. Such a difference. I find very few are aware of their surroundings. It's okay to be slow, but kind to be aware and not inconvenience this around.

    Since junior high my biggest pet peeves are slow walkers and people who stand in doorways. I just realized it's actually lack of appreciation for surroundings

    Some are slow because of disabilities or illness. I have grace for them.

      This was the case andnI do have grace, but it is rude to take up two walking spaces. A disability does not prevent you from walking to one side or the other. When I  say extremely slow I'm talking over three minutes to get from interior doors to exterior doors a few feet away.

    There's a number of reasons sone people are slow or suddenly slow to a near stop. Could be disability, some cognitive issues (like you go to do or say something or lost train of thought, and for a moment, your mind goes blank). But for some, that 'brain fart' last more than a few minutes. Also, it could be early signs of medical concerns. Minor strokes don't always present themselves with facial or limp arm signs. We can all slow down a bit in our lives as nothing we have to do that can't wait or be pushed back a few minutes for the benefit of another persin.
