One time I had a green light and some group decided to cross anyway and I had to stop in the middle of the downtown intersection. They took their sweet time and the light turns red and the walk signal comes on. I am still in the middle of the intersection so to not block traffic I tried to inch up but since the walk signal was on dozens of people were crossing so I couldn't go anywhere. Not only was I being honked at by cars who I was blocking. But many pedestrians surrounded my car and knocked on my window and slammed their fists on my car and cussed me out. One guy cussed me out so bad and I was just sitting there like a duck praying my car didn't get beat on too much.

frick Seattle and frick pedestrians who don't follow the rules.

I wouldve darted straight home to tell the OT through a most captivating post.

Our society has worked hard throughout the decades developed decency and societal customs - give a thank you wave when someone lets you over in heavy traffic, hold the door open for an elderly person or someone with their hands full, etc.

This younger generation is destroying that in one fell swoop. Our culture has lost it's sense of dignity, shame and compassion and we are much worse off for it.

You got "The Broussard Hall Slow Walk Treatment". So named after the crosswalk that elite LSU athletes would take 5 minutes to cross.

This is where I would have gotten beat the frick down. I would have let my mouth get me in trouble. I would have had to tell him something. Right now, it thinking logically I know it is the stupid thing to do, but there are some things that just sets something off. For me, its if someone would do some dumb shite like this. Its like all of a sudden I start thinking "this mother fricker is running his mouth like no one will do anything to him" then I would say something back then some stupid shite like. Try to run over him, but I know he could beat me up physically.

Install train horns and they will always run!

Well whatever turns you on.

The fastest most effective way to move traffic is to move traffic. You actually cause bottle necks when trying to be nice.
