I think I've told the story here before of the time I was running... a guy was coming down the sidewalk from his house (so, we were side-on to each other at right angles). Did. Not. See. Me. At. All. Like, no peripheral vision whatsoever-- a large moving object 2-4 feet away from him; didn't hear the footsteps, most people hear me breathing before I even have a chance to say anything... nope, not him. He turns onto the sidewalk almost right in front of me, predictably drifts across the middle of the sidewalk (now right in front of me). "On your left!" I say. He jumps, throws his arms in the air, and half screams. It was so stupidly dramatic I honestly thought he was joking around until I saw his face and realized that nope... I'd just scared the $#*@ out of him. Dude took "lack of situational awareness" to a whole new level... for a while I was nervous about running past his house again lest he see me and be like, "there's that creepy chick!" LOL
One day my husband was walking down the street towards his best friend, who was facing him. When my husband reached him and greeted him, the dude shrieked and jumped. Just because the lights are on, doesn't mean anyone's home.
