*RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE*

I just got back in from a walk to the Deli Mart, and some fucktard honked at me while I was walking on the side of the road coming into the apartment complex. Was walking on the side of the road, under the trees, and the bitch/sonofabitch honked at me and flipped me the finger! Now, I may have been half-asleep on that walk back, but I DAMN sure

i almost got hit by some yuppie asswipe in a Mercedes (of course it was a Mercedes) yesterday and i was crossing WITH the light!

[collegeanna19]

Bastards. Have they never heard of "Pedestrians have the right of way"?

[chocolate_frapp]

not in my neighborhood they haven't!

[collegeanna19]

Apparently, our neighborhoods are QUITE similar...

This is basically my life as a pedestrian in downtown Atlanta. I especially like this scenario:
*walk guy!*
Me: *begins crossing street*
Car: *preparing to turn right*
Me: *still crossing street*
Car: *turning right*
Me: OMGWTF I AM WALKING RIGHT INTO YOUR LANE AND I HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY STOP STOP STOP I DON'T WANT TO DIE
Car: *turns, but turns slower, and driver gives me murderous glare*
Me: JESUS LOVES YOU...but I think you're a bitch.

Just remember *lawyer hat* if you DO get hit (God forbid)--I know someone who was, she was on crutches for a while but just thanking God the car hadn't been going 10mph more--as long as you were in a properly marked crosswalk, YOU have the right of way, and THEY violated it, so THEY will be at fault.

Which reminds me, do you have commercials for Gary Martin Hayes and Associates up there? They use that guy from UNCLE. Uh, Robert someone or other? He tells you to tell the insurance companies YOU MEAN BUSINESS. He's a badass.

See, there wasn't a crosswalk. I had just turned into the drive for my apartment complex, and I was walking on the side of the road there, all but on the grass. I always let the cars go by, and when I checked out the driver, it wasn't my friend Chris (not the Pitt student; another Chris...I have a lot of friends named Chris) being a jackass...'cause if it had been, he would've pulled over and offered to help me carry my bag. :)

Robert Vaughn! We don't have Gary Martin Hayes and Associates, but we have Marcus and Mack..."Call Marcus and Mack on the Hurtline...RIGHT NOW!" XD

I got horribly honked at as I reached the ending of a pedestrians' crossing once. The dude was coming in from a tight curve doing a LOT more than he should be in the city, and I asked him if he'd like me to fly instead.

Most drivers (yes, most, at least where I'm from) are f*cking douchebag idiots whom I'd like to kick in the nuts or in the boobs, depending.

[collegeanna19]

Things like that make me wonder who they bribed to pass Driver's Ed, or if they took Driver's Ed at all. Bastards.

Your icon makes me LOL. Stewie FTW!

Damn stupid drivers.

As much as I hate to admit it, it's the same over in this hemisphere too.

Down my neck of the woods there are drivers who travel waaay over the speed limit while overtaking (when there double lines on the road - meaning it's illegal) around a blind bend. You'd think completely totalling the car once would be enough of a deterrent.

*head desk*

[collegeanna19]

They do that in my hometown too. Where I grew up, it's pretty much ALL backroads and stuff, so there's all sorts of speeding and shenanigans and asshattery being committed. And our high school makes Driver's Ed MANDATORY, too!
