Yeah, me, too. I actually surprised myself when I lectured the other rider. Normally I use a lot of expletives. But she looked remorseful enough, and figured I'd just be really stern and drive home a few points about congested areas and speed on the trail. My wife wasn't so kind, which was surprising to me. She's an RN and is usually pretty calm in stressful situations; but I think this incident pushed her limits a bit, understandably so from my point of view.
What really gets me about pedestrians, are the ones who where their f'ing headphones and tell you that you're an f'ing when you pass them after you politely give them the "on your left" or ring your bell. That really takes the cake for me. Deaf people have an excuse, the others are just plain unaware and moronic.
