"It's a pedestrian crossing, you moron!"
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.
