I was out running on a nice city street, clipping along, enjoying myself, when I came up on this 30 something woman listening to her IPOD! As I passed her, she shrieked and tried to spray me with mace. Fortunately, she stopped after a second and missed anyway, but man was I PISSED!!!
She was apologetic: said she freaked out when my shadow "appeared" behind her on the sidewalk. Well, if she's so concerned about safety why is she listening to an iPod!? Maybe she would have HEARD me for about 10 seconds beforehand.
Man, I'm still mad. If I'd have been maced...
Sorry, just my rant.
