Riding in today, had a good ride going. Coming up on some lady with two annoying Paris Hilton style dogs, and go as far left on the MUP as I can get. Hit the bell AND call out "On your left" and one of the annoying mutts takes that as a cue to run directly in front of me. Lady's texting on the phone.
I lock up to a halt (MTB with discs *will* stop quick) and tell the lady to watch her $%# dog. Rest of the conversation goes like this:
Her: "Next time give notice"
me: "I did. You were too busy texting"
Her: "You were too late, give more notice next time"
Me: "Control your dogs next time"
Her: "My dogs are just fine"
me: "Ok then lady, next time I'm giving notice, then I'm running them the fawck over when they get in front of me"
Her: "It was all your fault"
That's it... I vented. But next time I ain't budging. Funnier part was that immediatly after there was a cross street, and one of the dogs went off on another cyclist dropping onto the trail behind me. Guess it was his fault too!
