So I'm running around the track

today at the college that I live next to, just as I always do, when someone starts running the wrong way around it. Keep in mind, there is no set direction to run around the track but everyone always runs counter-clockwise. I think it is because all the arrows point that direction and the numbers are oriented correctly that way but I could be wrong. So everyone, including myself, is running the "correct" direction when a girl comes in and starts running against traffic. I keep trying to look at her funny to make her realize that she is going the wrong way but it doesn't work. She just keeps running around the third lane into oncoming traffic. About 15 minutes later a guy shows up at the track and starts running the same direction as the girl! Again, into traffic. I give him looks too but he doesn't seem to care. So they both run around for like 30 minutes before the guy disappeared and the girl started to stretch. Then she started walking around again in the correct direction. It is a good thing too because I thought I was going to have to tell her she was violating commonly followed track running procedures. Actually, I wouldn't do that. Maybe I should get a t-shirt that says "follow me?"
