Just now when I was walking home from doing my laundry, a bicyclist partially ran into me. She turned back and gave me the dirtiest look. It was technically partially my fault: she was coming the other way, but I kept on walking instead of moving to the side like she assumed I would. I told her "there's a bike lane!" and plodded my way home. I don't know if she heard me, but I hope she did.
I have nothing against bicyclists. If it hadn't been for my muscle strain last month, I'd be one now. But, Lexington does provide bike lanes and there was one where we were. Lexington drivers, although notoriously bad drivers, are very courteous to bicyclists.
Regardless, I hadn't the slightest intention of moving to the side with three bags in one arm, a bag on my back, and my other arm pulling a bag behind me - especially not for some lady illegally riding her bike down the sidewalk. That dirty look was most uncalled for.
I'm tired of bending my breath to everyone's whims.
I tell you, don't ever try living an honest life. You will end up spending all of your days alone, your nights alone and in tears, broke, in physical pain most every day, getting dirty looks from people for walking down the sidewalk just trying to do your damn laundry.
