Renny Rants #1: Meat Walls

Well, that might be taking it too literally, but you get the general idea.

My irregular bunny hormones normally keep me from getting upset, or "livid," as certain Top Cheftestants like to eloquently put it. However, there are always certain actions that will instinctively make any species cringe and shake in frothy anger ("hulk-anize," as I shall put it).

Therefore, every now and then when I spot a tasty morsel worthy of rant-anizing, I may post it here. So without further ado...haha doo...

Why must groups of individuals insist on blocking passageways with conversation? I mean, they are welcome to be social, but can't they be social in a setting that doesn't cause a traffic jam? This is not a ravenous romp, does and bulls; the point of a pathway is to have a way to walk down the path. There is no way I'm getting past that blabbering armadillo surrounded by a flank of hedgehogs and porcupines.

I have prepared a couple of figures to prove my point (you are welcome to click on them for a full animated demonstration). First, we will refer to Figure 1, which displays a free-flowing pathway:

Notice how the four individuals can smoothly transition from Point Here to Point There? This is the way it should work. Meanwhile, those who wish to chat it up can do so beyond the black lines, away from the flow of traffic.


Now take heed at Figure 2, which shows a much darker and disastrous output:

Oh dear, what do we have here? A seemingly innocent "paddle" of Pac-people (paddle = a gang of Pac-people) have now been construed as dotty fools who enjoy keeping the Squares from getting to their Math classes.

Based upon the visual evidence, I strongly any of you "blockers" to move your gaggle to the side, or in a different locale, to allow for maximum happiness in all parties involved.

No need to debate - RELOCATE!
