Use the Fucking Crosswalk
On my commute this morning, I nearly hit some guy on San Vincente as he was crossing the street. Of course, he wasn't using the crosswalk. What was worse was that this jab decided to jaywalk about twenty feet away from the crosswalk, so it was completely unnecessary. What's worse than that is that this guy was a doctor, so he should have been smart enough to use the crosswalk twenty feet away or at least rich enough to have his assistant go get his Starbuck's for him. Who knows, perhaps he believed that being so close to the Emergency Room, he was playing with pretty good odds.

As a near-permanent pedestrian, I'll throw the hate back to the idiot drivers who block crosswalk intersections so you have to either weave between cars or venture far too close to oncoming traffic to cross a street. asshats.
I had to pick up some documents today at an office building a block away, and I fell pretty hard at the crosswalk. To add insult to injury, I'm wearing a skirt. Of course the wind blew my skirt up, because God's angry at me this week. Then, this little frat boy type, in one of those souped up Hondas with the huge wing in the back yells, "Nice panties!" I'm not dissing greeks because I'm greek, but I hate frat boys. Next time, I'll drive my ass up the block and circle the bulding for twenty minutes looking for a parking space. DAMN FRAT BOYS!
I hate drivers who don't STOP for pedestrians in the crosswalk. That's what the crosswalk is for, and they should know the rule. I've actually yelled at people as they sped by- "I'm standing in the crosswalk b/c I want to CROSS- idiot!"
I walk Pacifc Coast Highway near my home on the weekends and I am way more afraid of the Horde of bicycle riders that travel in packs of 30 or more. At least the cars stop at stop signs and red lights....not the asswipes in spandex!!!!1 ONION BAGEL.

First of all, how did you know he was a doctor? White coat? Stethoscope?
A few weeks ago, I was entering a store in a crosswalk, and was nearly hit by a car. He brushed past my leg. I walk with a cane, and I WAS in the crosswalk. Needless to say, a change of underwear was in order.
I don't even slow down for 'em. Stop being so lazy. Walk to the light. Or at least WAIT until the roadis clear.
of course, in the rare times I cross illegally I don't expect cars to slow for me either. Though I usually do go to the light.
Oh I DO LOVE, when I'm in a crosswalk and there's a driver so anxious to get going - I walk slowly and stare at him. I have the right of way, don't run me over, 'k thanx.
Silly May, he knows it was a doctor because he asked if he wanted a Prostrate exam...OH MY
Monkers--- you sure it wasn't a male prostitute entering your personal space....?
now I'm imagining Mokers lying down in a crosswalk. :)
Jaywalking is an epidemic in CT. Slow Jaywalking is the most aggravating thing I have to deal with nearly daily.
Call me what you will, but when these jackfucks slow-walk in front of my car, I do my damndest to maintain speed and just miss their dumb asses.
My wife just loves that.
Oh CT, my husband is the road rage-filled New Jersey man who rolls down the window to yell, "HURRY YOUR ASS UP!" at people like you. I think Mrs. dub and I could bond over this.
