I am the least competitive person I know and yet on occasion, I pick up the pace if I sense that someone is going to pass me on the sidewalk and "win". Somehow, I end up feeling like I'm in a race for my life

It's really nice to know that I am not the only one with this affliction!

I'll race a baby or an old person anyday!

At last...now I know I'm not the only one with this strange craze. I even sprint flat out if I feel a toddler is going to reach the end of the street before me.

Well, I can tell you that I am a "fast walker." When most people walk, they really don't walk. They stroll. In malls, on the sidewalks, at sporting events, etc. They look like they don't know where they are going. And on top of it, they might be too out of shape or heavy to effectively walk there. I know where I am going and I get there quick. So indirectly, I guess you could say that I am racing people. And I end up beating like 99% of them.

LMAO I do that all the time. I race people up stairs, I race them on the sidewalk. For a second there I thought I was the only one but it's good to know I have company.

Yeah HAHAHA!
I thought I'm the only crazy one.
Sometimes I see a person who may be potentially a cute guy, so I'll race-walk him to see how he actually looks like. If he's not cute at all, I'll go 'ugh whatever' and slow down my pace so I won't be seeing him or it won't appear as if I'm trying to check him out. If he is cute, I'll walk just a few steps ahead and keep rummaging in my tote to catch a few more glimpses. Lol!

YesI do this all the time. When I was in Mexico, I was thinking hah I can beat this creeping Mexicans ( cause they walk slowly you know ) . And when i'min my neighborhood I run "competitively" against other joggers that I happen to meet until I pass them, and which point I sometimes slow down.

I do that at the mall every time, not to mention it really cheeses me when a slow person just butts out in front of me!

OMG! I wish! I live in the land of the snowbird! I wish I could find someone who can move faster than a snail! I'd love to have your problem!

wait are you talking with reference to the evil elves? if so then i might run the hell away and get a sparkling call in a sparkling place. i might purchase 500 shifting trees that ought to speak and combat off those drow and then i might stay interior between the trees.
