The thread about headphones made me think of another thread I think many of you will relate to. I always yell out "on your left" to anyone on the road and/or bike path. I do this at home where I come across walkers, runners, groups of kids, and/or cyclists. I also do it during events and I have the same problem.

When I say, "on your left", 50% of the time the person MOVES TO THEIR LEFT!!!! Or the less experienced cyclists, will hear me, look over their left shoulder, which in turn steers their bike left~~ right into my path!

I was wondering if there was something better for me to call out. I've tried all tactics:
1 - saying it earlier (this usually gives them more time to move completely in my way)
2 - saying it later (this often times startles the person and I don't want to do that)
3 - saying it twice (I've had people snipe "I heard you" , so I don't think they like that)

What do you ladies say to get the person's attention?
