To the incredibly stupid bitch on the Bedford highway this a.m. who saw the enormous puddle on the side of the road, RIGHT beside the cross walk, where you just saw me push the bottom to try cross-THANKS FOR NOT SLOWING DOWN, AT ALL, BUT RATHER CHARGING THROUGH THE PUDDLE CAUSING IT TO RAIN ALL OVER MY PANT LEG AND BOOK BAG! {seriously, if i had something other than my cell phone in my pocket, it would be through your fracking stupid red car window.}

That’s unfortunate that it happend but drivers can’t be held responsible for puddles, or knowing how deep they are. If you seen the puddle and cars coming you should have backed up just like you say the driver should have slowed down. If you are walking to work in the rain make sure you dress for the weather…rain jacket, boots etc…
I try to hit the puddles at as high a speed as possible (without breaking the law of course).
I’m going on the idea that hydroplaning will keep my front end from getting whacked out of alignment as I skip over the puddle .
Ever thought of wearing some type of raingear ?
Carry a good sized rock in your pocket for the next time. But don’t forget to put on your best running sneakers on first. You might also have to vault over a couple of fences if you make a direct hit.
More… skid across that mo’ fo’ like you’re Danika Patrick on a practice run….
This blows but drivers aren’t swerving in and out of traffic for the fucking puddles around here……
I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to purposely rain the puddle-misty-shower on an unsuspecting victim but…Logic Forbid. I’ve succumb to this practice and it’s WAY better than buddy crashing etc………
Never expect anything from moving vehicles, even if the law or common sense would suggest you should.
Hahaha, good one. That’s happened to me a couple times before and I actually got so pissed that I took down the guy’s liscence. I could tell it was on purpose.
