The ones that are the grossest are the guys who blow their noses as they run by closing one nostril and just blowing, oftentimes right as they run by you.

Yes, it's rude and very unhygienic.

Move the eff out of the way, or tell them too if they get that close.

I’m a runner; I dont think I’ve ever “huffed or puffed” on a person.

But boy, I’ve had smokers do that to me.

choose to walk on one side to be with each other, crossing over as needed. And if there isn't another side on yours, for sure there's another street -- with excellent chances that it has a quiet side.

We live in a quiet development. Hubby was out doing his morning walk, on the sidewalk, and along comes a jogger up from behind him on the sidewalk. He was not happy. He passed a few other joggers who were running in the street, which makes sense. In our development, the street is essentially a huge jogging and skateboarding path - 2 lanes wide with parking on either side.
