Now that the weather is cooperating, I decided to take the teener to work. Some of my co-workers wanted to see it. So, this morning, on my way to work I'm on the road to work. 3 lanes per side, posted speed limit is 45. I'm cruising at a very comfortable 50, listening to the sound of the engine, and thinking about showing the car to my coworkers.

Traffic is flowing, hit every green light, life is good....

Enter STUPID BIOTCH who decides to cross the street... Damn old woman decides to cross the main street in the whole city... while the light is green. Mind you, they have a stop signal with thos fancy little buttons to press when you want to cross the street.

But no... she decides she's a hell of a lot more important than the traffic coming along. I locked them up and left quite a bit of smoke behind me... thank god for those new brakes... but damn.. What on earth was she NOT thinking????

Then she has the gall to give me a dirty look... I double checked... yup.. light is green. She gets over to the median and starts to cross the other way... same result on the other side. So she turns back around and starts heading back again toward the side of the street where she first started...

Yeah... it wasn't a very good day.

She's looking to get a Darwin Award.

I hate old people! (and children, and pets)

Heh.....Miles, with any luck, you'll be an old people some day...
but since you already hate yourself, I guess I have no point ....I'm just another old fart crossing against the light.

In MN peds have the right of way. That little manuver could cost you big here.

I like when pedestrians (old folks, young folks, kids, dogs, etc.) start crossing a multi lane road as your approaching. They're just so confident that you will stay in the lane you're in...

lets do the math on this...

old lady, was looking so i'd say she would be worth approx...8 points! BUT, if she was to come back from the other way after almost being hit, thats 10 points!

Yeh... we gotta winner!!!!

there for the grace of god go I

Sometimes I just cant believe what I read. Imagine that old lady was your grandmother, and some butt head starts talking they way you guys have. The only idiots I have seen are the ones making a game out of hitting pedestrians

Pedestrians always have the right of way. Period

this is for you idiots

A real hazard here in SoCal is the joggers! I have almost tagged several of them as esp. at dusk they are extremely hard to see and tend to keep jogging full speed into the crosswalk...or even across the road w/o a crosswalk. Right of way or not, it is insane to run into the road wearing a dark sweatsuit & headphones at sunset (or after) without slowing down or checking for oncoming traffic.

Grandma's are one thing but it would be a REAL shame to bring home a Malibu Co-ed stuck to the front bumper...

HEY SEAN! I FEEL F/IN GREAT!!!!

Hey JP, I consider myself to be old, and a child, and something of a pet... so many reasons...

Now, someone fix my speedo..

Maybe I'm wrong (or just a male chauvinist pig) but... bringing home a coed is always a good thing (in my book)!!!!

not stuck in the bumper.

Not only do they feel that they have the right of way...but they also want to show their appreciation by flipping you off. Joggers like doing that.

They may have the right of way, but does that include the right to be stupid? As far as Grandma goes it might not be under her control.

[QUOTE]The only idiots I have seen are the ones making a game out of hitting pedestrians

i guess nobody remembers death race 2000

Old people where 150 points though....

anyone for a drive by fruiting??
I always have an apple or two in the car!!
If you really want to be nasty, rutabagas do a real number on the unsuspecting jogger, at 39 cents a pound its a lot of fun cheap

Hey thats nothing! Every once in awhile in Santa Cruz half of the UCSC students decide to protest on highways and surrounding roads to assure everyone knows we are a nuclear free zone.

Just think what it would be like to come around a blind corner at speed with this group of characters waiting for you on the other side. Definitely worth more points than grandma or even the coveted conservative Pepperdine Co-ed!
