Had one of those things happen yesterday.
Please, no "cool story bro" responses.
I walked my dog at a park yesterday evening. They have a blacktop walking trail in the shape of an oval. By counting my steps (a little over 1,000 each time around), I figure one loop around is about a half mile. I used to walk 3 or 4 miles with my dog a few short years ago, but he is aging now, and he tired out quickly last night, so we only went once around...one half mile.
The two long legs of the oval have a road for cars running right next to the walking trail. Speed limit in the park is 10 mph and people are usually respectful of the speed limit. For years, I have been making my dog sit every time a car drives by us, just to get him in the habit of doing that. He usually does it automatically now.
When we reached this one spot, there is an exit from a parking lot that feeds out onto the road next to the trail. There was this guy, probably in his 50's, pulling out of that exit, so my dog knew to sit down. I said good boy and reached down to scratch the top of his head, while waiting for this guy to pull out and be on his way so I could continue my walk.
I'm looking at at his car out of the corner of my eye while praising my dog, and the car is not moving. I'm not sure why because there are no other cars coming, so I look at the driver, who has his window open. He is maskless, and he is smiling at me. Everybody smiles at me when I walk, because my dog is gorgeous, and I figure they just like the dog. As a side note, I was the only one in the park wearing a mask.
So this guy is smiling at me, and I smile back at him through my mask. And he's still sitting there.
So I look at him again and he staring me down, grinning. So I nod at him and go back to petting my dog.
Then I hear him say something, but I couldn't make out his words.
So I yell back "Excuse me"?
Then he starts laughing and says..."You don't need a mask, asshole, you're outside"!
I never know what is going to come out of my mouth when people confront me, but what did come out was "AWWW, YOU AND YOUR BIG ROUND MEDICINE BALL SIZED HEAD CAN LEAVE NOW, FUCKER".
He stopped grinning and peeled out of the parking lot. At least he didn't stick a shotgun out the window.
I felt kind of bad for not just ignoring him, but I redeemed myself on the way home by not road raging when some guy behind me in a construction zone laid on his horn and drove around me, forcing me to hit the curb while his car pelted mine with pebbles and construction debris.
It's all my dog's fault.

BTW: With an aging dog...my solution for walks was to get a stroller for the dog. Way back when I was young and had an aging dog, we did a route that the dog walked for part of our outing and then came back by the house and got her stroller and I headed out for more while pushing the aging pupster. Now it's the reverse...the dog should be putting me in a stroller!
If your dog is large, a wagon could work as well.
that counted steps. I didn't pull the trigger on getting one yet. A lot of them, even though the overall reviews were good, said things like "counted 25 steps when I reached my arm over to my nightstand".
I'll keep looking and try one out on my Android phone.
Also, I keep spreadsheets for EVERYTHING!
I MANUALLY counted the number of steps to mow my lawn last week. Came out almost exactly to 10,000.
Thanks for the App tips!
PS/EDIT: I'm sorry about your fall!
when some/most of the rnc attendees recognize they SHOULD HAVE worn a mask in the rose garden. 
I'm glad dude did not have a shotgun....you never know these days.
most folks think malaise is a man
attention to genders on this board lol, but I always assumed you were a woman.
