Several months ago, my dear neice Kaylin was feeling overwhelmed with a lot of school assignments, tests, essays, papers, and book reports.

There's no need to get stuck behind a slow walker – but there are now hundreds of Facebook groups (often with violent solutions) dedicated to this urban problem.
