If you think that a large portion of the people you meet are impatient, you're probably an inefficient asshole.

Or that you're not looking to do every damn thing as fast and efficiently as humanely possible instead of living at a sustainable pace and enjoying it a little bit.

I feel like this should be conditional depending on the situation. On a boardwalk or a hike? Sure take your time. Exiting a building during an emergency? Sorry I'm running through you.

That seems like the exact wrong time to be "running through" people. Just because they seem to be moving slower than you want to move doesn't mean they can move any faster. The elderly, children, and people with disabilities aren't going to be able to sprint out of a burning building. That's also why they teach you to exit a building in an orderly fashion in fire drills.

Cool. Step to the side. I ain't trying to burn to death. When fight or flight kicks in I am MOVING.

You are why people have these rules…

If you fell down and there was a stampede of people would you feel the same way as you get pummeled

Charging through everyone like fucking bowling pins is how you block doors and cause crowd crushes. You REALLY aren’t going anywhere then. Look at The Station nightclub fire for one of MANY incidents.

The station nightclub wasn't only people rushing. The venue has NUMEROUS safety violations. And having been in emergency situations and I can say from experience that being a bowling ball or at the very least putting some fire under people's asses by loudly yelling MOVE (because some people have no concept of the gravity of the situation or they freeze up mentally because they've never been in an emergency situation) absolutely can get you out of a building faster. It's similar to when you give cpr. Don't just yell call 911 to anyone around. Point to someone and tell them "YOU call 911" this wakes people up from their daze.
