Etiquette query: when you're jogging/running (read: gasping and sweating) on a quiet trail and someone is running towards you in the opposite direction, it is normally customary to make eye contact and offer one of the following: a smile, a nod, a hello, a small side wave or some other small acknowledgement of your mutual masochistic tendencies?

Failure to make eye contact and provide a greeting would make it completely acceptable and reasonable for someone to assume you're a total bitch, correct?

Or, perhaps I'm just projecting because she was wearing at least $500 worth of coordinated running gear and did not appear to possess sweat glands.

Na. Bitch should have a least nodded.

  1. Absolutely a hello was required.

    I've noticed some runners will only say hi to people who look like they are in the same league as they are physically. The stick thin person flying by is much less likely to say hi than the similarly paced mom-looking runner that I see. Sometimes simply wearing a lululemon headband does the trick though.

  2. lol, you may be right because I was definitely not wearing the appropriate gear (running shorts, Beer Lao shirt, basic sneaks). Not sure it's worth dropping $20 on a headband to hold back the hair I don't have just to try to blend in though - I think they'd see right through me :)
