I find most pedestrians to be inconsiderate and oblivious, in general. This universal disregard is prevalent on bike trails, sidewalks, in parks.. just about anywhere there are pedestrians.
One of my biggest pet-peeves is people who just stop in the middle of a roadway, walkway, or path. I fear each time as I imagine they do the same while driving. Please, Please, be observant around you! Realize you (and your buddy) are not the only people in the world, nor the only ones using the path. Look behind you if you Must use the Entire width of the walkway -like cyclists must watch behind for cars and (are Supposed to) fall single-file as vehicles approach from behind. Move to the side if you must stop. Please, walk like you drive. Respect any people-moving path as a roadway.

I find it infuriating, and almost humorous that at Rengstorff Park, people on foot and on bikes stop to chat or watch a soccer game right in the middle of the jogging path. There is a huge grassy area between the pathway and the soccer field bounds. It is meant for stopping, parking, resting, observing, chatting, or the like. It looks more comfortable, too. But for some reason, people think they cannot touch the grass. Hello, That is what it is there for: hence the name Park! The walking/jogging path is a roadway, meant for travel. If you do momentarily pause and at least know that others Are moving along it, and kindly yield to them a right-of way passage.
Thank You!

Well, I often bike and rarely walk at Shoreline. I think that cyclists are a much bigger problem- many cyclists have this sense of entitlement that embarasses me- shouting "on your left" is seen as a favor. The previous poster ID's a lot of my peeves about pedestrians, though.

But the biggest offender? Rollerbladers. they think that the ENTIRE path belongs to them. Oblivious to the world around them.

I'd bet that 5 percent of pedestrians, 10 % of cyclists and at least half of bladers are oblivious to their fellow citizens

When my toddler slipped and fell on a path a Shoreline, we stopped to help her out and check her skin for cuts and bruises. At that moment, a bike rider came zooming along at high speed and yelled an obscenity at us for blocking the path. How about some better manners and a little less self-absorbed ME ME ME behavior at that park?

Never mind the park, how about Castro Street? Why do bicyclists insist on using that busy street, and trying to navigate the sidewalk on it, no less? This is just asking for trouble -- we really ought to have a law.
