I would do what Golfnut said...

Dirigo

When I was riding on the subways in NY City, I'd sometimes do an act to quiet a loud, deranged or obnoxious passenger. I'd imitate a large, viscious attack dog, by growling and snarling while shaking convulsively as if I was about to attack them. It made them feel that I was crazier than they were and they'd stop there nonsense. Stupid? Risky? Can't argue with that, but it was fun.
Here in TV, it would probably cause a few heart attacks.

Wow....how old is this thread?

I've developed an idea for a fun stress reliever for long excursions on recreation paths. I use my grandson's super soaker tommy gun water pistol. Scoring is assigned and calculated for direct hits on various close encounters along the route.

For pedestrians:

head shot = 3 pts
body shot = 2 pts
below the belt = 1 pt

For bicyclists add one point to each category because they are harder to hit

Hits anywhere on a recumbent cyclist is an automatic 3 pt. bonus. There are fewer of them and the angle is awkward

For golf cart operators it's a straight 1 pt for any hit because there's so darn many of them.

What you say....you shoot at other golf carts? No....I'm not saying that. I rollerblade the paths.....guess I should have mentioned that at the beginning.

You can see how much fun this could be if all modes of travel were equipped with super soakers. How many points should be allocated for squirting a rollerblader?

If it catches on.....who knows....maybe a Senior Olympic event?

Their taking me back to the home now. Good evening.

Have fun and stay safe in The Villages.

:agree:
AMEN! Some must think since the sidewalks are so conveniently available for pedestrian traffic; there must be something wrong with using them. It's fine for peds to use the recreational trails which are "multi-modal" but just use your head and not walk two abreast into the driving lane. If there's a sidewalk right next to the golf cart lane on secondary streets, USE IT!!

"Intimidating" !

The pedestrians I worry about are the ones walking with traffic, in the golf cart lanes. When I come up to some of these walkers, usually they are visitors here, I warn them to cross the street. With some of the golf cart drivers here, you could get hit from behind. The drivers would probably say they didn't see anyone.

I tried that and after getting a bunch of lip from some of them I quit trying.

I firmly believe if the Villages put up a sign that said "If you can read this, you are walking on the wrong side of the street", they would ignore it.

After watching the roundabout follies last week, I've decided that happy hour must start about 9:30 AM somewhere in TV.
