 had a sort of funny interaction today while out walking the dogs. i was distracted and walking on “the wrong side” of the sidewalk near the lake in austin. a lady on a bike just … came at me until she stopped and we were face to face. she says “you’re on the wrong side”, clearly upset im not following the unspoken rule of rights of way

i just ignored her and walked around. the next biker we encountered did the normal thing and just routed around me.

i was probably in the wrong but im not sure it mattered. do you get where you’re going or do you confront the obstacles in your path 🤣
