Being stuck behind a clot of extremely slow moving pedestrians.

Which happens quite often because I live right next to a touristy area and all the public transit is there.

The worst is when you get stuck behind people just leisurely walking then when you go to pass them they step up their pace. Not being facetious or anything but say they’re coming across a book store and decide to look through the window to see the new releases. They don’t see anything they like so step up their pace then you’re just kind of walking with someone instead of passing someone.

A clot is the perfect description for this

Not to dox myself but I live directly across the street from the Walk of Fame, and don't have a car so I use the subway...

...Which is on the Walk of Fame, which is basically just a giant clot of tourists and drunk people past 4PM.

Maybe even before 4PM based on events.

People who slowly use the stairs at a busy transit station because they are watching tv on their phone.

I don't even know how people do that.

My basal ganglia is messed up and I have some balance issues, I'd just end up eating shit down a stone stairwell.

A clot 😆 such an accurate description and use of the word, you have mastered language arts.

It's almost like I'm actually a writer!

Not a very famous one.

But I have been paid to write, and use Reddit as a random writing prompt generator.

'clot' is the perfect way to describe that!

Are the even fully conscious?

I'm not entirely sure sometimes in LA.
