re: When joggers and walkers use the road instead of the sidewalk

I’ll come around a corner in my neighborhood and there’s a jogger in the middle of the fricking road and I have to slam on my brakes.

bullshite! I’m a jogger AND a driver. Every now and then I come across a walker or jogger who is taking up enough of the road that I have to slow down. This is rare, though, and I have NEVER had to slam on my brakes. The vast majority of the time the runner/walker is way out of the way.

Just as some drivers drive like idiots, some pedestrians walk or jog like idiots. The others are fine to walk in the street. As others pointed out, the sidewalks are so messed up that they are dangerous to run on.
