Poetic justice or am I just evil?

My commute home is on a disused rail line now part of the cycle network. I was coming up behind a slow cyclist with a large group of kids with a few adults, obviously some sort of group walk activity. I decided to slow and follow the other cyclist, we had gone past most of them and came up behind 3 girls who had forged ahead of the group. As the cyclist passed them one jumped forward, shouted boo and waved her arms, I don't think he noticed as he had head phones on and was just past them. I don’t use my airzound on pedestrians, I either use my bell or voice, but it was just too tempting and I gave them a short blast on the airzound :biggrin:. I got the impression her friends thought it was hilarious.

No more than a little banter really is it?!

...after they had climbed back out of the hedge they had jumped into!

Poetic justice for sure. Quite dangerous if the cyclist "jumped" or swerved as a result of getting a fright. Might also be quite intimidating to have a group of teenagers do that to you whether they were just larking about and meant no harm or not. Serves them right!
 
I have no compunctions at all.....

A couple of kids jumping out in front of the bicycles on the cycle path.

When they tried it with me a straight forward banshee scream and charg straight at them seems to solve the problem!

You want to watch that. I heard about a guy who killed a kid and landed in court! Did you hear about it?

that's why i don't have an airzound - it would be just too tempting to use it. Although that sounds like a class use of it.
