| Comment | I've been going out for an hour's exercise max as late as possible to avoid people.
In the park, runners and cyclists sail right past you and take up the middle of the path, forcing you to move into the grass and flowerbeds in order to maintain a 2m distance.
Dog owners are petting each others dogs.
I've seen several people sitting on the benches have a nice wee smoke break to contemplate things. Groups of people are walking around the park side by side, saying goodbye at the gates then going their separate ways.
Even walking through an industrial state at 10pm doesn't stop cyclists swooping up behind you despite literally the entire area being empty. I've started walking on the road where I can and keeping my head on a swivel so I can get as far away from oncoming people as possible. It's not worth the risk.
It's gotten past the point of ignorance into malice. I'm going to take a two metre stick with me and hold it out to anyone approaching me. |
