To the man who nearly killed me in the intersection on Saturday night: I’ve had a lot of near-misses in that crosswalk over the last two years living in this neighborhood, but typically the drivers don’t stop to tell me how it was my fault. You accused me of wearing black (you mean blue? get your vision checked) and coming out of nowhere (with a walk light that I had to wait for). Because of how cute your dog was I hesitated but after you continued to chew me out I took a swing at your face. You immediately drove away as fast as you could.
I have a tip for you, don’t roll your window down when you’ve just recklessly threatened someone’s life unless it’s to apologize. Also, look before entering an intersection. I was looking, that’s how I was able to jump out of the way of you. — Little Miss Frogger

Not to defend their actions, but you attempt to physically assault somebody for yelling at you? Probably not the smartest decision.
just think o.p., if they would have killed you, it would have ruined your whole next day. gee golly.
I’d take a swing too..
buddy sounds like a dewsh-nozzle.
You aren’t telling me anything new. I’ve heard similiar arguments since the early 1970s. I recently spent a few afternoons pouring over a bunch of old ‘4th Estate’ newspapers on-line (from 1970-1977) – the game’s the same and only the players have changed.
Too bad you missed him, OB, sounds like he could have used a smack back to reality. I’m picturing this taking place in the crosswalk outside the blue canoe on Robie st.
You were in the right, he was a jerk. Please don’t take swings at random strangers especially one with a dog as a dependent.
you took a swing at his face?? What the actual creeping fuck?
Op. Sometimes we CAN’T see you. Him mistaking blue for black supports HIS argument, not yours. He sounds like a dick but.. please be careful walking at night because it IS hard to see you guys sometimes. Even when you try to hit us.
