Walk Damn It

this is something i wrote for my writing class, which is why all the grammar things are correct (capitalization, punctuation, etc)

So as you all know I live in New York City, probably one of the greatest cities to ever live in. But with all cities comes one huge problem that I just can’t deal with. No matter where you go, from London to New Delhi to Mumbai to Baltimore to New York City, there are always those people who don’t know how to walk. Those tourists, who stand in the middle of the sidewalk to take a picture, if you want a damn picture, get a post card. It is really not that hard to find one of Times Square. I PROMISE! And if it is hard to find one then call me; I will be more than happy to get you a picture of it without standing in the middle of sidewalk, while people are rushing to meet people, go somewhere, and do things.
I mean seriously people. How hard is it to take a picture while walking? Not that hard. I know it I do it all the time. I love taking pictures. But take them as your walking. Don’t stop in the middle to get it. It’s just plain annoying and it makes me want to punch you in the face, which I would rather not do, since I’m a busy person. I would rather waste my time doing something else and not punching or chasing after you. And plus, that just makes me hate you. And I really don’t like hating people. There’s too much hate in the world already, we, me included, should be spreading love and peace. And if you walk then guess what, I won’t hate you. So just walk and take pictures, it’s much easier.
And then, don’t even get me started on the people who are lost and stop in the middle of the street and open up their huge ass map to find out what tiny little street they are on. That is even worse than the picture people. For those who this applies to, go sit on a bench or go to a coffee shop, there are literally thousands of them, or go somewhere else. But seriously, get out of MY WAY! I have places to go, people to see, and things to do, and with you standing around staring at your map, I get late. And I hate being late. That’s another one of my pet peeves, but we’ll save that for another day. Don’t make me late by standing in the middle of your street with your five foot map wide open like it’s an exhibit at the MET. Just don’t. It’s annoying. If you’re on the street ask someone for directions. And walk with them, do not just stand there. WALK! It’s not that hard. I run four or five miles nearly every day. One block is not going to kill you.
So people, just as Dory said in Finding Nemo, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.” I say, “Just keep walking, just keep walking.”
