I find most joggers to be self-absorbed assholes. Not only do they hog the street, they are so intent on maintaining their optimum pace and keeping their heart rate up, most refuse to stop at intersections or yield to cross traffic. They way they run through traffic without even looking, I am amazed there are so many of them left; I would have though Darwinian pressure would have thinned the herd much more by now.
I walk my dog at a public multi-use equestrian trail that is also frequented by joggers. The other dog walkers and day hikers are pleasant, talkative sorts who respond when offered a greeting. But the the joggers are in some sort of endorphin-induced trance which prevents them from saying “hi” or acknowledging you if you say hello. And heaven forbid if they should have to deviate from a straight line to avoid a slower walker (on a 10 foot wide path), they brush by as if everyone is in their way.
When I come upon a jogger who thinks the public roads are his personal running track, I resist my urge to mangle him under my tires, but I do honk loud and long when I swerve around him. I do get some satisfaction from seeing them dive into the gutter. If you are offended by my generalization, tough shit; maybe you should associate with a better class of people.
