Ok, I think I'm going to order a couple of these, even though I've never used them my whole life, it seems a good idea now because I'm totally addicted to mup's and I too am tired of making walkers and joggers jump out of their skin by quietly yelling "on your left". It sounds too much like the local bike police anyway.

I'm always amazed by the latest academy award winning overacting surprise move by pedestrians, it makes me feel guilty, as intended I suppose.
