Well, I think I have the right to be a little angry.

I'm a stickler for sidewalk protocal. There are just certain rules that need to be followed if you are a pedestrian in a city.

--a single walker must move over for a couple
--two couples walking towards each other need to go single file. Don't be greedy. Unless of course it's an elderly couple, then move your asses over all the way.
--give wide berth to families with strollers or small children. Cross the street if you must. This saves you and the family time and embarassment--no one likes a gusher.
--Dog walkers must move over. If they refuse to move to the grass, they must suffer their dog to be petted.
--Walkers may greet other walkers.
--Runners may greet other runners.
--Runners and walkers are obliged to ignore each other. If you are a walker, do not assume that a runner has the time or breath to say hello. Gosh.
--Pedestrians always have the right of way. This includes surprise sprints in front of traffic at four-way stops.
--if you are in a car and ask a runner for directions, expect to be roundly abused.

and, as today showed some unlucky piece of shit:
--if you are a home owner with loose dogs that are prone to attack runners, you will be called a "stupid fucker" and your dog's life may be in danger.

Just a warning. But next time I'm taking a penknife and some fishing line, and I'm very creative.
