- Slow walkers who walk right in the middle of a pavement
- Slow walkers who can't decide if they want to be on the left or the right and
- seem to have a special sense to move across just as you go to pass
- People who text whilst walking but really can't manage them both at once
- People who stop suddenly, especially the one twunt who stopped whilst going down some stairs at leeds station to take a drink from his coffee whilst several people including myself were making a dash for the train.
- People who need an umbrella the size of a tennis court (London especially really needs to introduce a maximum umbrella size)
- Groups of people who take up the entire pavement
- Slow walkers who walk alongside another unrelated slow walker, thus blocking the pavement

- The couple who walk slowly on a wide pavement yet manage to make sure you can't get past them without stepping into the road
- The person (usually but not always a woman) who dithers in front of a supermarket food shelf so that you can't get to the item you want without pushing them out of the way or coming back later
- On a 3 metre wide country road, the oncoming walker who makes you deviate from your path, no matter how well you have anticipated their trajectory
- You are waiting for the lights on a pelican crossing and have positioned yourself at the right or left side of the crossing according to your intended direction when you reach the other side. By the time the lights turn green, there will be someone standing on the outside of you who wants to do a diagonal across the crossing and tries to force you in their direction.
Points 3 and 4 are common occurrences in Switzerland.
There's a variation on 1. This is where both you and the couple just ahead of you have successfully nipped through on the inside of the slow couple. Your new faster couple will abruptly stop to look in a shop window, putting you back at square one.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Groups of people (usually Spanish speaking) who choose to congregate and chat in front of the entrance and exit doors of airports and are so f***ing surprised when you ask them to move"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
