Consider first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with passage times given by i.i.d. random variables with common distribution $F$. Let $t_π(u,v)$ be the time from $u$ to $v$ for a path $π$ and $t(u,v)$ the minimal time among all paths from $u$ to $v$. We ask whether or not there exist points $x,y \in \mathbb{Z}^d$ and a semi-infinite path $π=(y_0=y,y_1,\dots)$ such that $t_π(y, y_{n+1})<t(x,y_n)$ for all $n$. Necessary and sufficient conditions on $F$ are given for this to occur. When the support of $F$ is unbounded, we also obtain results on the number of edges with large passage time used by geodesics.
