I finally turned in the opposite direction he was going just to avoid his rantings. Low and behold, a few minutes later I was waiting for traffic to clear at the intersection of Buena Vista and Sumter Lake Miona entrance. Apparently I didn't cross fast enough for the man behind me who proceeded yet again to yell at me. What is happening in this country of so many blessings that we have become so unkind and inconsiderate of others. Must have been something in the air that day. For me, I will just hope for the future to be better and forgive the obviously grumpy old men who felt compelled to be rude. |
I hear ya OP.
One day wife & I were out riding on the multi-modal path just to enjoy the sunset. She was behind me about 50 ft.
She had to make an emergency stop. When I noticed, I made a U-turn to go back to her. Literally no one else was around. By the time I did this, she was well out of the way of all possible path traffic, off on the right side of the path in the grass, where I joined her.
Then, along comes Super Villager Ken & Barbie, speeding along in their purple neon illuminated golf cart.
Barbie began yelling cuss words at me, repeatedly flipping me off, all for the abomination of "facing the F%^n wrong way"
They having no idea my wife was having an emergency, and my 'facing the wrong way (off path) was due to my turning around to help her.
We were blocking/disrupting absolutely no one!
Lets just say, it was good for them, my wife's issue was more important than my need to set things straight with either one of them as they sped off, no doubt to save the village paths, from all evils of the world, one uncalled for drive by cussing out at a time!
