slow walkers
Sidewalk traffic jams
Slow walkers are people who walk at a pace that frustrates those behind them, especially in crowded spaces like sidewalks, hallways, or shopping centers.
The term carries mild annoyance—slow walkers are often oblivious to the bottleneck they create: I got stuck behind slow walkers the whole way to the train.
The complaint is universal enough to be a minor cultural grievance.
