funeral processions

[chattyfeet]

okay, heres' a new one for you all...what do you do when you're running, and you come upon a funeral procession??  Do you stop while the hearse goes by?? 

[Sandy]

That has never happened to me but I think I would.  We do it when we drive so I think I would take the time and stop if I were running.  Did this happen to you?

[Cathy]

I would DEFINATELY stop.   Just me though.  I would stop in a car so why not running or walking.

it happened to us today, on Dundas St. in Belleville.  By the time I noticed, the hearse was right beside us, but moving...as we ran past my running partner and I both said "oh my, should we have just stopped?" and we both agreed that we probably should have.  Next time we definitely will... I know one thing, it's NEVER WRONG to stop whatever you're doing when in such a situation.  It just kind of snuck up on us today and we felt bad that we didn't stop!
