I agree. I walk at my pace, therefore my issues are about getting there at my pace. It's about 3mph faster than average. I am a very considerate pedestrian - honestly. I move over in advance to let prams and groups through. I move over when I see somone with four carrier bags coming up. I step into the road when if I think I'm the one taking up the room. But DAMNIT! Can I have some of the same consideration in return?!

Sorry.

As a slow walker, I will overtake you. I mean, I will burn past you - whooooosh! What I ask from you is that you walk in a straight line. I accept a reasonable meander, but mostly straight, please. Because I am overtaking you - at speed. I don't want to weave all over the pavement (mall, whatever) in order to get past you. Have some peripheral awareness and I will LOVE you. Really - when people move aside (even when it's not necessary) I get a warm glow all day.

Oops. Does this issue rile me?
No. Of course not.
