Debacles of Pedestrianism: Why the city of Chicago gives out tickets to pedestrians too

[syksushi]

...I don't think "pedestrianism" is a real word, but it sounds nice.

This was supposed to be posted last Saturday, but I forgot about it until something happened yesterday, which I'll get to later. Either way, let's see three cases in point, all occurring at about 3pm Saturday afternoon, at the intersection of Devon and California.

You are my pedestrian hero. I wish I had faster comebacks for asshole drivers and pedestrians.

Luckily, I still keep three dead hard drives in my passenger door as ammo.

"You better believe it when I say that I'll look both ways while crossing a one-way street now."

I do that all the time cuz assholes are always driving REALLY fast going the wrong way.

Ditto, I've seen people turn the wrong way on a one way, I just kinda stop the car, stare, and wait to see what happens.

I live literally RIGHT THERE, so I know exactly what you're talking about. My favorite Devon Death Trap is a little further west, inbetween Sacramento and Troy. For some reason, there's a stop sign right in the middle of Devon, and no one seems to notice it...it makes for some entertaining expletives.
