And worse, pull into a parking lot and stop, not knowing where to go. Meanwhile, my ass end is sticking out into the street cause I followed them in. ---

> [@D\_Anconia](#): > > Grownups who jog/run in the street, when there are perfectly good sidewalks on either side. > > Worse, people who “jog” in the street while pushing a baby stroller. Give me a perfectly good sidewalk, and I will run on it. Problem is, most aren’t. Cracked, uneven pavement, tree roots, slippery leaves, dips - sidewalks don’t get the maintenance streets do. The number of times I’ve face-planted on the sidewalk outnumbers street falls by 3:1. Given that I: - Wear an LED vest that flashes in different colors; - Don’t run with earbuds in; - Only run on residential roads, facing into traffic; and - Am always scanning for cars in front and behind me, and move over when necessary; makes running on the street a far safer proposition for me than running on a sidewalk. Not to mention those hardcore stroller-pushing runners. I gotz mad respeck for those guys and gals. ---

Ok, I give up! What _exactly_ is offensive about a gallon jug of water? Anybody know? Is it how they’re carrying it? That it’s too much water? Too little? Non gym rats need more context please! ---

Johnny Cash, Bohemian Rhapsody, and BBC news announcers NPR shoves on to finish out the hour. Can’t stand. ---

Neutral colored cars. Doesn’t anyone like colors anymore? ---

People who can’t do basic math yet work as cashiers. Yes, there actually is a reason I’m giving you the amount I am. If this were some stranger on the street I could see not being up on it, but this is your job. ---

Pushing a stroller in the street is borderline reckless endangerment. Streets are where the cars are driving.
