A Banner Day

Today is a special day. This morning I was nearly run down in a crosswalk by an inattentive driver, and in fact ended up partly perched on the hood of his car shouting "woah! woah! woah!" as he plowed ahead. This is fairly common in Massachusetts even though it's state law that pedestrians have the right of way in marked crosswalks. So, that's not so much the special part.

Today, after five cumulative years of living in Massachusetts and nearly being run over dozens of times in clearly marked crosswalks, marks the first time I can remember that the driver of the car did not yell an enraged and indignant "Fuck you!" at me as he drove away.

Well WTF were you doing in the street?! In the street fer Chrissakes! Anyone who's anyone drives everywhere- pedestrians and other lowlifes deserve what they get. I think that's the gist of the mindset of the drivers who yell "fuck you!" as you Starsky & Hutch off their hood.

Glad all you got out of it was rattled and a good story. Where was this, out of curiousity?
