[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A runner literally brushed my shoulder while passing me yesterday on a closed Beach Drive where there was plenty of room for everyone. That's the kind of crap that will mean we all don't get to keep going outside in public spaces.  The fact that you're healthy and out for a run does not give you the right to violate other people's 6-foot perimeter.[/quote]

I would find what the runner did unless you were in the wrong (walking in the middle of the sidewalk, not on the right side, etc). It's called a "shoulder check" and it's done to people who have terrible etiquette or aren't paying attention.

But honestly I think if you're really concerned that people like this are going to make you sick, you should stay home or walk in very remote areas. [/quote]

The hell??  I was walking at a good pace with a child on my shoulders,  on the right side of a two lane road.  There is no way one does that wrong.  Also hitting someone for it is literal assault.  [b]My jaw is on the desk at the thought that anyone would defend that behavior at any time, but especially right now.[/b]

I began a thread Saturday(?) after an oncoming cyclist spit a big wad of phlegm right in front of me.  I'm minding my own business, walking on my side of the trail, my dog to my right, and the trail was not crowded.  I mentioned there were no other people in the immediate vicinity and he could have waited a few seconds to spit after he had cycled past me.  PPs who probably are cyclists responded unsympathetically.  But really, WHO spits right in front of someone?  Under best of circumstances that is such bad manners.  With the current health crisis, what he did was inexcusable.  Anyone walking on the trail after he's gone could step on the spit and if he's infected, carry it forward on the sole of the shoe.  People can be such horrid backwards ignorant idiots.[/quote]

That’s so gross! Why?! Your post made me so mad. Sorry that happened. That was incredibly rude. [/quote]
