I'm constantly blown away by those in society who look out only for themselves
and choose to go straight to F*$K YOU! The only way you're going to avoid
people is by living alone in the outback, so why not develop some people
skills. Both sides were wrong for the manner in which they dealt with the
interaction. I mountain bike a lot and on one occassion almost destroyed
hikers with their dogs on a very obvious downhill MTB trail. I showed concern
for their safety and suggested they use an alternate route where they would be
safer (even giving them directions how to get there). The man was great and
thanked me, but his female friend was defensive and entitled. I then proceeded
on only to ride through a pile of fresh dog s*#t on the trail! To me this was
proof positive of the ignorace of the woman and her self serving approach. She
left her dog's feces there for anyone to tread on, hiker or biker.
Interactions with self serving people will unfortunately lead to the affected
people making adjustments to their own approach. Thus, the sh%$y attitude
gains momentum and spreads. The solution is badges, yes badges. If you are a
self serving a%$hole you should be required to wear a badge identifying you to
others. That way I can save my energy and simply run you over as I enjoy my
ride.
