Pedestrians

So I'm walking to lunch today and I saw something that I've seen all too often here in the city, pedestrians who not only cross the street without right of way but proceed to stare down oncoming traffic. Not only are these folks dumb enough to step out in front of moving cars, they take the stupidity a step further and stop in front of the oncoming cars to stare them down.

Someone ought to sit these people down and have a little talk with them. Ok, I'm not speaking from the heart here and I promised myself I'd do that on this blog, so let me rephrase, someone needs to bitch slap these idiots and hammer home a point they seem to have forgotten...when you, a human being, gets hit by a car, the car will generally win.

I've heard people say things like, "if you get hit, then just sue the sh-t out of them and win a lot of money." Yeah buddy, you better hope you're around to spend that money. Even if you are, good luck spending your million dollars strapped to a wheelchair drinking your food through a straw (because that'll probably be what it'll take for you to get a million dollars) -- call me pessimistic, but I think you'll have a tough time picking up bitches in a Ferrari and making it rain at strip clubs in that condition.

Besides, do you really want to be telling people that you have the things you have and get to do the things you do because "I saw some cars coming and I was like 'man, I got this,' walked out into the street anyway and stared them down cuz that's how I do, but I got plowed by a pickup truck and that's how my ass got paaaaaaid." That's not the type of success to be proud of...that story doesn't get you girls.
