I find gently scraping your shoe on the floor, on the side you’re passing, to be a great way to get slow people out of the way. They hear a noise on one side and move away from it.
Alternatively you can quietly gnarl like a rabid dog the whole time. Advantage: your poor shoes don’t suffer. Disadvantage: they’ll take you for a crazy person. Advantage: nobody messes with crazy.
I’m a shufflemuffel and I say with nary a hint of irony: treat walking like driving and GET OUT OF THE PASSING LANE.
