The Atlanta Beltline’s wildly popular Eastside Trail just turned five years old, and in that time, it’s cemented itself as a safe, clean, inspiring, and geographically unifying city amenity enjoyed by millions of people from all walks of life—from around the world.

But it’s rife with jackasses.

In the spirit of election season, it seemed an appropriate time to reminisce on mind-boggling stupidity, utter cluelessness, and embarrassingly selfish behavior witnessed on the Beltline’s most patronized stretch over the course of this past half-decade.

And now it’s up to you, Atlanta, to cast a vote and crown the city’s most prolific Beltline dunderheads of all.

Curbed Atlanta

Below you’ll find a list of general annoyance categories that should cover the most frequently spotted of Eastside Trail culprits.

Write-ins are also welcome. Just keep it civil, please.

And for Beltline enthusiasts feeling especially productive, head over to the official compendium of “Atlanta Beltline Etiquette” for a quick lesson on how not to be a jackass.

But hey—the occasional jerk beats no Beltline, right? The Eastside Trail in 2010, left, and at birth in 2012. Happy belated birthday.
