Idiots and Crosswalks

Idiots and Crosswalks:

First of all...we must define what a crosswalk is. It is a place where pedestrians cross a street.

Okay. Not too complicated, right?

You know how there's a button to press on the traffic light pole that tells the system that there's someone who wants to cross it?

So I pressed it. I was on my bike and wanted to cross the street. That's not bad.

When it finally turned so the little walking person (who is white for some reason...very racist) was lit up.

So I started riding across. Then some fucking idiot just decides to go through the turn lane and stop in the crosswalk right in front of me.

I tried braking but my bike is dumb and old so I ran into the side of the aforementioned asshole's car.

He opens the passenger window (a roll down window, remember the olden days when they weren't automatic?) and sticks his head out. He has a cigarette in his hand and is freakishly annoying classical music is blasting through the speakers.

What's running through my mind?

1. Why the hell did he stop right there?

2. What the hell is wrong with his hat? It looks like some giant lady bug died and got stepped on my a shoe with gum in the bottom.

3. Why the hell is this ass listening to classical music?

I don't normally judge strangers to their faces, but I was cracking up at the irony of the situation.

Idiots need to learn how to drive. But hey, welcome to America.

Keep it classy, kids ;)
