Sorry, I don't fly over the same runway when another aircraft could be

with you sidestepping.

ATC is usually not ok with you doing something unless they've told you to
do it or they know you're going to do it.

True, but ATC isn't likely to suffer the ultimate price should there be a
mid-air collision. I'm announcing intentions and keeping the rogue aircraft
in sight. If ATC has a problem with that, we can sort it out later.
