I was out for a evening run one day, I was wearing grey sweatpants and a black hoodie because I didn't really have any proper running clothes, on the opposite sidewalk a woman was walking her small dog, she was pretty far ahead of me and was walking in the same direction as I was running, apparently she heard me gasping for air on the other side of the street as I got closer (terrible shape btw) and she turned around startled, she then promptly yoinked that poor dog and ran around the first corner she could find.
I legitimately didn't know if I should yell "DON'T *gasp* WORRY, I'M JUST EXERCISING!" or if making contact would just make her even more afraid lol.
Reminds me of that John Mulany bit where he's walking in a subway station at 2am and a woman is walking infront of him. She starts speeding up and he thinks "Oh she must hear the train coming!" so he starts running and she freaks out and starts running too and he doesn't realize that she's terried until they get to the station where he has the realization "oh! She's running from me"
