The corner of Willett and Lacewood…..3 times in the 2 years I have lived in this area, I have come thisclose to getting smacked….once, while I’m crossing, a driver in the right lane turning on to Willett, is looking into the Sobeys parking lot on the left, yakking to her friend in the car and pointing…..turning right while looking left….while rolling through the red light….yes, you can turn right on red…providing it is safe to do so…no, she wasn’t going fast….point being…I’m in front of your car…stop….pay attention…then turn right and go…..another time, twice, actually….I’m in the crosswalk, about halfway across and drivers turning left onto Lacewood from Willett drive in front of me, through the crosswalk….I need to stop to let you go by without squashing me….I’m allowed to be there because the little LED dude on the sign says I am…you’re not, because I’m already there….next time, I’m gonna smack the side of your car, fall on the ground, cry like a baby in front of a bunch of witnesses and sue your fucking ass ….. —We were all pedestrians once…..

That would have been Willard turning right onto Willet. Willard and Willet don’t mix.
^^^mm, Have you ever walked your whippets on Willet whilst wistfully whistling Walk on The Wild Side?
Drivers simply don’t give a damn. You peds are in their way.
You have to remember where you are…
that’s a skeezy place to be.
At least You’re paying attention.
Well no Hercules, I must admit I haven’t. It does sound quite complex. I would probably get lost and wind up whistling “I Left My Lonely Heart on Lovely Lacewood Drive.”
“I’m allowed to be there because the little LED dude on the sign says I am”
Don’t trust that smug bastard! I heard he does coke, spews hot piss out the side of his mouth when he talks, likes big assed women, studied dentistry, rides his bike on the sidewalk in his off hours, is a muscular guy but has no pecker, and secretly thinks you should put your fate in the hands of god when crossing the road. Need I say more?
You must try to avoid references to yourself while commenting on a bitch.
