i commute primarily on a bike path... absolutely crowded with roller bladers and peds at exactly the time i ride home from work. i can't tell you how many times a day i'm trying to pass someone who has their ipod on so loud that they can't hear my bell.

i passed a group of girls, 4 abreast, and taking not one, but two lanes of the path. i'm forced to hit the grass; nobody moved an inch.. and as i went by i yelled 'turn your music down', and her response was:

pause... 'shut up'.

honestly, i had to laugh. shut up.
