When Forest Gump said “I’m pretty tired, I think I’ll go home now” was he breaking an obligation to keep running just because others were following him?

- Dylan16807 2y agoWell in this case, imagine if he didn't say that, or say anything. It would be pretty rude.
- teddyh 2y agoExactly. A modicum of respect is all I expect.
- akerl_ 2y agoIf I go for a jog, and a bunch of people start jogging behind me that I didn’t solicit in any way, then no… it is not rude of me to just stop jogging and go home without saying anything to them.
- Dylan16807 2y agoIf you spent many hours, days, months with them it would be. Come on.
- akerl_ 2y agoWhy? Why does doing something in public for a long time create an obligation to people who see me do it.
- Dylan16807 2y agoThey're doing it with you, so you should at least say goodbye. I don't know what I can say for "why" other than go find a manners book and a philosophy book.
