So i was sitting there doing some math and a pleasant female co-worker with whom i was previously acquainted approached me and asked me if I wanted to go for coffee.

I estimated that the distance from my office to the coffee shop to be around 100m +/- 5m, so with a mean walking speed of 1.2 m/s it would take me a maximum of 87.5 seconds to get there. I know for a fact that the length of the corridor outside my office is 18m, +/-1m, and so should take 15.8333333 seconds to traverse.

I decided to walk at her speed, because it seemed like the appropriate social convention if I intended to court this lady. I also timed how long it took us to walk there out of interest. She talked to me as we walked down the corridor and clearly was not focused on the task at hand, to navigate ourselves to the coffee shop in a sensible and timely fashion, drink some coffee and return to work. After 20 seconds, we had still not reached the stairs, meaning she was walking at < 0.9m/s. That is more than 25% slower than the average walking speed.

I asked her why she was intent on wasting my time. When she asked what I meant, i confronted her with the cold harsh fact that she was moving appreciably slower than she ought to be. She asked what was wrong with me, to which I replied that i was not the one who was clearly well outside the normal distribution for human walking speed in an unremarkable situation. She told me to forget it (which clearly defies principals on the function and longevity of human memory) and accelerated in the opposite direction of the coffee shop at an appreciable rate, thereby confirming my suspicion that she was moving slowly in order to waste my time. This in turn made the wasting of my time futile as I no longer had any reason to obey social convention and accept her invitation of coffee.

She later came and told ME that I was unreasonable.
