More of mine:
1. Kids in relatively quiet or confined public spaces. Nice restaurants, for example....leave the kids at home. Airplane....pack them in the luggage, it'll cost less too. Movies, especially PG13+ movies. I was once in a violent R flick when a little baby started crying....what kind of f'd up mother takes her little baby to see a violent movie??????
2. Parents of kids who won't keep them under control, I mean the ones who don't even try.
3. Dog owners who let their dogs sh*t all over my bike trail so my bike smells like doo. Especially the ones who place a rock on it on a hill, so not only does the rock slide out from under my tire I also get a nice sh*t slick to ride on. Those people piss me off.
4. Pedestrians who are on the ONLY line on the trail and who refuse to kindly step to the side where they could easily walk, but nooooooo they gotta walk on my line so I have no choice but to stop.
5. Pedestrians on the trail who, when I yell "RIDER ON YOUR RIGHT" they jump to the right so I almost hit them, or when there's 3 of them and 1 goes right, 1 left, and the 3rd stays in the middle.

Dude I TOTALLY hear ya on the biking.. the shit and the people who walk. I've had so many close calls with telling them where i'm going to pass them i just dont bother anymore for their safety. When I get bitched at for not telling them.. i either lock up the rear and slide around to block the path and have a convo with them about being rude or i say "HAVE A GREAT DAY". The later has only twice but i would love to do it more often, people shit their pants when they see you stopping.
Or if you cut it real close you tap the rear and slide over towards tehm as you come up behind them and the just jump right out of the way.. try it!
