I don’t like thoughtless joggers gasping over me While returning from the local shop one evening I was forced to dodge about like an idiot because a gasp of joggers (my own collective noun) could apparently not find the extra reserves of energy within themselves to keep two metres away from me.

None of them had a mask on. They ran off, puffing and blowing lungs potentially full of disease all over.

Is there not some way that joggers and, to a lesser extent, cyclists can bring themselves to travel the extra distance needed to avoid pedestrians? Or are they somehow exempt from common sense and courtesy?
