What is it with joggers running on the cycle path? Is the pavement not good enough for their expensive shoes?

From the Dutch naturalization test:
"Ms Van Dam is rude to Sarah. What should Sarah do?"
- Lodge a complaint
- Get angry and not give her coffee
- Stay calm and tell her she doesn't think it's nice.

More seriously, how can any of these behaviours be wrong? There's probably a fair percentage of Dutch people who would act in each of these ways.
