Agreed!....and this works a good 70-80% of the time. ---It's there other 20-30% that leaves me flummoxed and raises my ire.

If this post prevents one incident like the one above I believe the effort will have been well spent.
I suspect that you are preaching to the choir here. I would be interested in seeing what response your cited incident would get on a dog owners forum.
I have contemplated stopping when I see a dog owner, or group of pedestrians, consuming most, or all, of the path and asking them their thoughts. I truly am curious if they really are just oblivious.
