Whilst digesting lunch and sipping on a take-away Bakerzin's coffee we made our walk back towards the office. And as we approached a cross-section we slowed down to "look right and left". I saw a red mercedes and a cab approaching but they were far enough that i wouldn't end up as road kill.
I was half way across the road, practically on the other side when the mercedes was forced to stop. It was if he was competing in a Let's-Knock-Over-a-Pedestrian game and wanted to gain 50 points. I turned to look at the driver and under my breath said...
"What the fuck!? I'm fucking crossing the road!"
By the time i reached the other side, the cab driver next to him had decided that he'd show his dominance by honking his horn. At which time i turned around and that was when MissSeniorPisces was on the pedestrian crossing and yelled on the top of her lungs to not only inform him but the whole block,
"It's a pedestrian crossing, YOU MORON!"
Some people are so impatient! So what if you were 5 seconds late? Why is there so much road rage!
And as it clearly states, "Pedestrians have the right of way as soon as they start to cross the road. You should stop at the crossing if a pedestrian is crossing the road or waiting to cross." [source]
Motorists should either study their driving manual/retake their driving exam or even better, they should just calm the fuck down, it's Friday for god's sake. It's not like we were J-walking, i was on a zebra crossing.

which bakerzin was this? BV2?
Yup yup.
hey i was there too to grab my lunch!!! but it wasnt me in the cab or the merc...
lets see, how many drivers actually stop for pedestrians at zebra crossings...i had that experience once too many times = (
yesterday some moron was speeding off the traffic and i swear he almost hit my car into half by 1 second.
actually it reminds me of the time when i used to work in KLCC... drivers would speed up if they see u try to step on the zebra cross. sometimes i am not in the mood for this kinda shit so i would just force them to stop and stare at them for a few seconds. most of them don't even dare to stare back.
stay calm...
it is happy friday..
if you let them get you upset, they win...
go back to bakerzin and get some chocolate cake and you will happy
calvism: Yea! Not only is that dangerous but it's damn right stupid.
lanatir: Most of the time they they don't give a shit. It's just damn right rude.
dukester: Oh i'm calm.
I think my colleague was the one that went nuts... ahahha. Well at the end of the day, i managed to cross the road and give the red merc the evils =p
Oh well... i hear Happy Hour bells ringing... ehehhe =)
i was just ensuring my vocal chords were working;)
yup..about right..they sure do.
Anyway, m'sian drivers just need to have some etiquette lessons. When i become PM, there are gonna be rules!
