Shit. Nothing will ever change my mind about how annoying slow old people are. Fuckin drive slow, walk slow, count their damn mountains of change at the cash register slow... I could go on, but I'd just be bitching at that point lol :D
I understand that that might be the quickest they can move, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. Get out of my way, you relics!
