Pedestrians are never a problem on the pavement. Just sneak up behind them and give them a blast of the AirZound. The reaction makes it well worth the slowing down

Not trolling. Spoofing.
I couldn't resist it.
Apologies.
If that troll was a car, it would be a 1984 Ford Capri Lazer with a his n hers windshield sticker with Baz n Trace written on it.
With a copy of Ride the lightening on cassette on the passenger seat.
Yes, yes, yes, that's as may be, but what we really want to know is what car you were driving? Sounds like a good day out
It was a fictitious 1988 Maserati Biturbo.
In pretend yellow.
With imaginary tan leather trim.
It went like a dream.

Sometimes you just want a change of scenery tilly. Forever just going round the estate ; same old fields, same old forest, same old deer park, same old apple orchards , same old waterfall, same old aglabs tilling the soil. Sometimes you just want something new and thats when you run into these pedestrian fellas.

That's why I drive a tank.
Obviously it had to be Italian.
Somehow, I thought it might be one of these. That's what it would have been in my dream anyway.

If so, then I am entitled to think that he is a prick.
What I'm not entitled to do is barge past him too close and fast, nor to ride into him just because I think he's a prick. Nor am I entitled to start blasting my Airzound at him. Nor am I entitled to start shouting at him that he's a prick.

I can't afford a Colnago...I spent it all on the tank and an estate in Westward Ho!
Oh really? I thought it was rather more elegant than that. Perhaps a 1974 Triumph Dolomite Sprint. In canary yellow, with the black roof naturally.
It would have been, but my imaginary '74 Dolomite Sprint broke down in 1975.
They're waiting for the parts.

I meet up with an arrogant twunt on a bike every morning when walking my dog on a path in the local park pre 6 a.m.
I don't *know* if it's a shared path but since he, me and the dog are sharing it, IMO, a bit of curtesy extends both ways. I did initially move off the path, but with his speed and without the odd thank you (well, a 'morning' would suffice), I found that a couple of blasts in the face with my Cree torch did the trick. He still doesn't acknowledge me but now I don't move out the way and he has to slow down.
I do the same path coming home from work but now it's pitch black and there are usually a few peds about, I stick to the road or slow down to virtually a walking pace.
When I take the dog walking along tow paths, I make her sit at the side and let cyclists come by. 9 times out of 10 a cheery wave or thank you is received, When I'm out cycling with the dog along the tow, I get off the bike, call her to sit and cyclists and other peds are always given way to.
To me, it's just about good manners and ultimately, the safety of all concerned.
