Playing Through

Without yelling from afar, wait until you are in relative close proximity and simply say “gentlemen/ladies, do you mind very much if we play through?” Based on my own experience, I have never been refused by someone that I have approached in this manner.
Cat-calls, jeering or swearing, can make matters worse. DO NOT ever hit into the group ahead, thinking it will make them play faster. Doing so, can lead to physical confrontation, or liability damages if someone is hit. Slow play is usually caused by ignorance rather than maliciousness. Don't forget to thank their group for allowing you to play through.
