To the attractive woman crossing the street in Harvard Square Wednesday
I understand that you're young and, in the conventional sense, very attractive. That does NOT alleviate the need for you to look both ways before crossing the street. If the truck driver had been going as fast as the cars ahead of him instead of creeping along at a relative snail's page, he would not have been able to stop before hitting you.
The appropriate response to a multi-ton vehicle screeching to a halt a yard away is not to laugh, stick out your ass, slap your ass like a pony girl in a porno, flip the bird and then walk off laughing. Blowing mocking kisses at the truck was equally unnecessary.
I could be generous and assume you were in shock, acting out of character because of a sudden scare. The fact that after the near-hit you PUT ON a set of headphones and proceeded to cross Brattle street WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED, BOPPING TO THE MUSIC leads me to suspect shock was not a factor.
