When I can tell a driver is annoyed that they have to wait for me to cross the street I love to take my time
My husband slows waaaaaaaaay down if a driver honks at him (or others) while crossing the walkways in parking lots. Payback for being a rude jerk I guess. It's pretty funny as he goes out of his way to mime and be as aggravating as possible (he's also 6'4" and probably would do serious damage to any car that actually hit him). I usually pretend like I don't know him when he does this while secretly giggling.0 -

"OMG, I was walking across a parking lot and this guy just blazed past me instead of allowing me to cross, I can't figure out why people are so rude!"
I have never said that.
But if I'm a pedestrian and I am walking in a parking lot and instead of waiting, a car "blazes" passed me, that driver is a dick. They're operating a weapon and I'm vulnerable.
Also, in most places in the U.S. (not sure about other countries outside of Japan where this is also the case), pedestrians always have right of way at crosswalks and designated avenues designed for them to safely cross streets/parking lots. If you're jaywalking, then all bets are off, but at crosswalks in parking lots, pedestrians definitely get right of way, regardless of how slow they walk. I'm just mostly agreeing that some people are absolute dicks in regards to this.1 -

I think your hubby was walking in front of me today! I just started tossing my grapes I brought for lunch at him LOL
If you do it just right, he'll catch them like a sea lion or dog, lol.

So maybe it is best to mitigate this vulnerability by hustling out of danger rather than pulling a passive-aggressive "taking my time" move?CanesGalactica wrote: »TeacupsAndToning wrote: »Bry_Lander wrote: »TeacupsAndToning wrote: »Bry_Lander wrote: »Allowing a pedestrian to cross in front of your vehicle, even though they don't have the right of way, and they just give you a vacant look and then slllloooowwwwlllyyyyy cross.

If there is a pedestrian walkway then the driver isn't doing anyone a favor by letting the walker have the right away. If the walker is jaywalking or obliviously staggering through the middle of a Walmart parking lot while talking on a cellphone and damn near walks out in front of me and I am forced to stop rather than using them as a speed bump, a nod of appreciation and a little bit of hustle is always appreciated.3 -

I feel like I should say that I do have a driver's license so I've been on both sides. When I'm in the car of course I get annoyed with someone for taking their time but it's on me if I choose to zoom passed them. Of course pedestrians should be aware of their surroundings but if they're in an area where they're allowed to be then they have the right of way and I'm the one that will get in *kitten* if an accident occurs.
Zooming past someone isn't an accident it's an act of stupidity. With the advent of technology, people seem to be increasingly impatient. I've lost track of the number of people I've seen who are straight on their horn before the light has barely turned green.0 -

Hey if it turns green and you haven't released your breaks yet I'm going to honk because earth is for the living and some of us have *kitten* to do
I give the driver in front of me until my hand hits the horn to start moving everyone wants to get thru the Light not just you!
You're an inspiration to all of us with your maturity and I for one feel safer for knowing that people like you are allowed to drive3 -

I am not my husband, just so you know. I usually give a little 'hat tip' or a gentle wave to know that them stopping was appreciated because I, in general, do not enjoy being run over by moving vehicles.
I guess that one would irk me: People not paying attention at crosswalks and nearly running out in front of my car, regardless of how slow I am traveling. Not in the habit of killing people as a hobby, sorry.

1. The guy on his phone texting weaving in and out of lanes and almost jumping the curb at the off ramp. Idiot ...
2. The person who waited until the very last second to merge despite 2 BIG orange signs that said 'Right lane closed ahead.' anddddd if that not enough the giant sign with the BIG flashing arrow didn't seem to phase that dummy either.

Exactly! I don't let the person merge in, call me mean, but hey, I waited in line like everyone else.2 -

Snapchat filters. I know they're for fun, but something about them just makes my inner rage Hulk out.
Also, dad puns. Puns in general. Some are alright, but most.. are just terrible.1 -

Feeling good about getting two more laps around my work building - about 900 steps - and get back to my desk to find my Fitbit. On the desk... connected to the charger.
