Dear Pedestrian,

I get it. The law states that you have the right of way but does that mean you have to abandon common sense by walking out into oncoming traffic Absolutely not. You can wait a few more seconds for me to pass and then you can walk across the street. And don’t think for a second that by looking me down that it is going to make me stop. Yes, I can see you and no, I will not stop for you.

This is how it should work. If you so desire to cross a street you can take ONE step off of the sidewalk and wait for the oncoming car to pass. If the driver so chooses, they will stop and signal for the person to pass. I’m all about following the law but when it comes right down to it the person in control of the giant piece of metal should call the shots.

If you don’t agree with me then please feel free to communicate via your middle finger or my favorite raised hands/shrugged shoulders “I’m trying to make you feel guilty” look. Neither of these really phase me.

Thanks for understanding my sound logic.

Jake

PS- I will run you over…maybe. Let this stand as a semi-threat.
