I've got a few things that I see reoccurring while hiking, that grind my gears:
>1) Playing music on a speaker system
People go out, at least in my opinion, to emmerse their senses in nature- to reconnect and re-ground themselves. This new fad of playing shitty techno music over bluetooth speakers for all to hear, is not only inappropriate, but breaks up the piece of mind of those who are seeking quiet time while in nature.
>2) Being asked "how far is it to the end/feature?"
I am not your guide. I don't know how fast you hike or what your plans are. Frankly, part of the adventure is not knowing, so I refuse to answer directly when asked by casuals 'how far is it?'
>3) Not yielding to ascending people or groups
People descending must always yield to ascending hikers; period.
