Of course, they are usually walking 2 of 3 wide and taking up the entire lane, so just riding past usually isn't an option. Then again, if I yell out "on your left" so they know I'm going to pass them on their left, most of the time I'll get a dirty look. Maybe I should try the waterbottle trick and just squirt them as I approach.
The water bottle trick could land you with an Assault and Battery charge. Word.

It's best practice to speak up well in advance and say Thank You as you pass. I rarely do the "Boo" thing but sometimes I can't help myself.
