More People I’m Sick Unto Death Of

 

Diagonal Jaywalkers

I don’t mind if you want to cut across the middle of the road. I do that myself.

But when I do it, I take a straight line perpendicular to the street and I walk briskly, maybe even jog a little bit. I don’t take a diagonal path into oncoming traffic and refuse to speed up when I see a car coming.

Why do I not do it that way, you ask?

Two reasons:

  1. The person driving the car may not be paying attention and may run me over and kill me.
  2. The person driving the car may be a crazy person looking to run over anybody who gets in his way. YOU DON’T THINK SO?! There’s a lot of nuts out there! Read the news! I swear to god, some days I feel like I’m just hanging on by a thread myself.

Think about that the next time you try to walk in front of my car.
