Not her again.
Not today.
I sigh and pull out my phone, too, and press record.
Best have a video of our interaction to counter her video of me. 

She’s called me a “Karen,” I’ve called her a twat.
I mean, good god, the sidewalk is wide enough for the both of us – walk near the wall, and I’ll walk near the road. Such a simple solution.
But she’s going to step closer to the middle, inevitably. So annoying.

We draw closer, phones in hand.
“Good day,” she says.
“Good day,” I say.
We both know we don’t mean it.

I met a "Karen" of sorts today. I was tossing the ball around for my son's dog in a public park not thinking a thing of it. An animal control truck came by saying it was a leach only area. I asked him where I could take the dog and he just kept saying something about "signs" and wouldn't provide any helpful advice. I left after being rather unpleasant to him. He probably didn't deserve it, but all he had to do was tell me what I could play ball with the dog. She's more well-behaved than 99% of people I encounter (including me).

Oh, I'm so sorry! Yes, most dogs are better behaved than most people. I'd take a dog over a human any day! It definitely is hard to find dog friendly parks, especially off-leash ones. I'm a dog owner myself. Best of luck! Pet your puppy for me!

Ah, the pleasantries we say when we maintain polite courtesy.
Good story. Well done!

Distrust and intolerance run rampant these days.

Such a real life situation, people on their own world on their phones, oblivious to others.

Rivals being civil. A cold howdy-do is best, but I sense a darker underside to the path of their relationship. Nice one!

A darker underside always :)

Makes me wonder if the Hatfield-McCoy feud is still going on. Ego and a refusal to forget the past has made a lot of misery in this world. In real life, I would recommend these two have a restorative justice mediation in hopes of clearing the air. Good, thought-provoking story, Angela.

Mediation could solve a lot of problems, honestly. But everyone thinks they are the hero in their story.
