Ohh, yes to that, too! Excellent call!

A driver is happy and safe in their car while pedestrians are being assaulted by sun or snow. I will never understand why being forced to wait six or eight seconds for a pedestrian is (judging by the looks on the drivers' faces sometimes) approximately the worst thing anyone's ever done to a driver.

If your car is such a terrible place to be that four seconds of lag is cruel to you, why not do something nice inside of your car? Put a photo of something you love on the dashboard, and spend that moment enjoying, instead of hating on me! You could sing the song on your radio, and spend a minute grateful that you have a car. Or you could just scream obscenities at me - you know, whatever's best for you.

Love, The Pedestrian.


(Not at all directed towards you, Wicked Wahine! You're awesome. Some drivers are really horrible to pedestrians and cyclists and motorcyclists, and it's really scary for us!)

I haven't ever really wanted to run anyone over UNTIL... I was on Neurontin once & had a psych reaction & did NOT allow myself to drive! I wanted to kill people, not kidding, I was a bundle of rage. It came out of no where, too. First I was irritable with most people, thinking they were morons, that kind of thing. Then I was driving & my leg started shaking as it was all I could do not to run these obnoxious teenagers over! I had to pull over, park the car & walk around a while. I at least figured out it was the medicine, even though no one warned me of such a bizarre reaction! I had my dad come over with my brother in the car, I got in with my dad & my brother took my car to my parent's where I couldn't get to it. Dad dropped my off at my house. Holy crap, I was only on it a week when that happened. Needless to say, I was talking to the Dr as I was walking off my rage-on.

Well, now that I've shared all that TMI, maybe someone else will fess up, ha ha! No, I don't really expect anyone to really follow through! Relax, this is just in jest!

BTW, I think the point system is funny!

I actually say the same thing you do! When I have rude people cutting me off in the crosswalk, playing chicken with me, etc, because yes, they are warm & dry in their car & I am vulnerable. That is why I NEVER rush a pedestrian or go through the crosswalk while they are in any part of it! So, you can imagine how out of character the incident I related above was! I was confronted with a group of about 12 teens walking & standing in the road & they would not move for me, or the oncoming driver, either. We were sitting there, waiting while they flipped the bird & called insults at us because we were different from them. In that area it became a huge problem. They would smash your car, kicking & pounding on it as you sat stopped, or if you were going slowly. So, this wasn't really a pedestrian incident, but a group of delinquent jaywalking thugs I ran into.

Drivers, let it be known: you must always be careful of bored teenagers and snails.

Yes I have, I'm an angry driver with road rage

See, people? I'm doing a community service with this discussion! Yes, let the venom out! Release the road rage by venting here instead! Even the pedestrians have been invited - but no snails, bog!

When you're walking you're like "PEDESTRIANS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY, MOTHERFUCKER"
and then when you're driving you're like "YOU STUPID SHIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THAT"

But basically yeah I want to run people over all the time. People suck.
