10 years ago I would have punched this pompous twat in the neck... can't believe how much attitudes have changed since the days you got a beaten for being a dick.
This happened about a year ago...
Riding with my 2 boys, some twat with headphones in and dark black sunnies is poncing down the trail, his dog runs runs up barking and starts jumping up on my boys.
I tell him 2-3 times to get his dog under control, he tells me this trail is allowed unleashed dogs on it... I tell him YES but they need to be under control, not jumping on people or killing local wildlife, so get it on the leash now !
He then starts telling me my tone is aggressive (his dog still jumping up on my boy, which I have now just pushed away with my bike) and his dog has every right to be off the lead. Then says my aggressive attitude is making him feel intimidated and he no longer wanted to discuss it with me... and I have assaulted his dog.
How has society changed so much that a 60kg streak of piss who has no respect for what his dog was doing (scaring my boy) or fear because they think they are right... and society says they can be offended and stand up people who bully and say things that offend them.
I'm no bully, but I was really pissed off he wouldn't take the dog under control and stop it jumping on my kids... and I would literally kill for my family... I was near in shock of how deserving and overbearing this idiot was.... I shook my head as he walked away head in the air as if he had won... Seriously, if this is representative of the next generation of adults, we are in trouble.
