What mystifies me is that this should be a lesson in empathy, given that most people don't fall neatly into one category. I'm a cyclist and I'm also often a pedestrian. (Not a dog-walker though... they can go to hell 😜). When I'm on my bike, I hate cars and pedestrians. When I'm walking, I hate bikers and cars. When I'm driving, I pretty much hate everyone. Is the takeaway that everyone sucks here? No, the takeaway is that we should be empathetic to everyone's different needs, especially since one person's needs one day could be our needs the next. Your last line sums it up best!
