    Yesterday I was stuck behind a very fast walking woman… who was walking her dog. She’d slow down to nothing when the dog needed to sniff something, then speed way up when the dog was done. Her v(max) was higher than mine, but her v(min) was zero, leading to a v(mean) that was slightly slower than mine. So, I’d keep on catching up to her and having to wait until her dog was done sniffing at something. But her dog didn’t take enough time to justify my walking around her.

      As you get closer, drop a bone so the dog is occupied for a long time.

      What do you mean you don’t carry bones around?

      It’s the worst. I had the same thing happen where I’d almost overtake a guy but he’d suddenly start walking again, multiple times
