I’m convinced this is a sport in NOLA, and competing takes several forms:

1. Walking across a street as slowly as humanly possible
2. While driving you see an acquaintance and come to a dead stop in traffic so you can chat. Popular in bad neighborhoods where others are hesitant to raise hell about it.
3. While driving and making a turn in either direction, stay in the traffic flow for as long as possible
4. On the interstate, stay in far left lane until you’re about 50 feet from your exit, then come to a dead stop and idle across multiple lanes so everybody else on the road has to pay for your mistake. This is a big favorite in NOLA East.
