People may drift into a job without ever having made a positive decision.

By the last race, 37 people had drifted through box 49A.

The press dissolved around them as people drifted back to their lives.

A few people drifted by on the sidewalk outside, in the hot sun.

The people drifted away silently, looking back as they went.
