So Labor Day we decided that instead of working on outdoor projects, we'd take the day off from Laboring, throw the bikes in the truck, and go riding the multi-use path at the park. OMG. There were so many rude, entitled pedestrians who thought it would be a good idea to go ruin the cyclists day, and be as much in the way as possible.
These pedestrians act like a multi-use path is theirs to congregate on. I didn't keep count of the many times I was forced to use the the expected ghey ass phrase, "on your left". And people do expect it. Once I didn't say it, because the couple walking stayed well to the right, and seemed to be aware that I was there. I wasn't going that fast. So I just passed them. And one of them actually said in a Karen voice, "yer supposed to say, 'on your left'. Often when I do say it, the seasoned pedestrians nod with approval as if to claim a piece of my virtue, and say, "thank you". ****ers probably vote Democrat. Betcha anything they live in an HOA, and LIKE it! Anyway, I'd rather just say, "GET THE **** RIGHT!" instead of using the ghey ass "on your left". It's just what it is.
Most of the pedestrians are oblivious to the world around them. As soon as they become aware of you, instead of just getting over to the right, they freeze, then scatter. I mean, c'mon. "GET THE **** RIGHT" is way more direct, but even the ghey ass "on your left" at least implies that as a pedestrian, you should probably move right, becasue I announced my intentions to pass on their left. Instead, they panic and scatter!
