Not so neighborly

Went out Monday for a slow run, and posted 6.3 miles in 1:01:12, which is a slow 9:43 pace.
I was just kind of slogging along, not feeling particularly energetic, when, with a mile and a half to go, this guy backed out of his driveway as I passed by him on the opposite side of the street, well out of his way. He rolled down his window and yelled at me - I heard the words sidewalk and street, and his tone, so I knew exactly what his complaint was. He wanted me on the sidewalk where I belonged. I just yelled "Get lost!" and waved him off (snappy, huh?). That little incident gave me  noticeable shot of adrenaline, though, and for the last mile I felt great. Could have gone 5 more, but didn't.
