I was walking the other day, pretending to listen to my iPod.
"Pretending" because whenever it's below about -15C (5F) my iPod lies and says the battery has no power. As soon as I take the iPod inside and it warms up, it suddenly remembers that the battery is fully charged. This completely wrecks my walks since the whole purpose of them is to listen to music on my iPod that I would be too embarrassed to play at home, lest my neighbors hear.
If someone from Apple happens to be reading this: I recommend opening a testing facility in Moscow, you Californiapansies.
But I digress. The point is that I was walking. On the sidewalk.
A woman and four men were unpacking items from a car. The car doors were therefore open, covering a portion of the sidewalk, and forcing me to change my trajectory slightly to walk by. I slipped on some ice in front of their house. I didn't fall, but I slipped badly enough that I flailed my arms wildly and was forced to laugh in a futile effort to pretend I wasn't embarrassed.
The woman said, "Sorry."
I said, "No problem."
As I walked away, I heard one of the men berating the woman: "What the hell did you apologize for? He doesn't own the sidewalk!"

Man, what a dick. I would have said something, if it wasn't for the fact that there were four of them . . . and that the guy had some sort of accent, implying that he was from somewhere tougher than Canada . . . like France . . . and the fact that I'm a total wuss . . . and the fact that my orbiting death ray is in for repairs.
I mean, she had no reason to apologize whatsoever. But the fact that the guy got mad at her for apologizing appalls me. Clearly he's some sort of obsessive control freak. (I apologize all the time even when I don't have to -- by the way, I'm sorry I raped you, nutbutter -- just to pretend I'm not a dick.)
Anyway, my question for GAB is, should I continue sulking, report him to the City for not clearing the ice from his sidewalk, or take up kickboxing?

I think you should pour more water in that area and make more ice, so HE flails about looking silly.

YOU should affect the accent of an even tougher country, like Afghanistan,
Kazakhstan, or any of those -stan named countries.

Try and find out his name and fill out a bunch of magazine subscription cards with his name and address on it.
