To that pedestrian who paid more attention to his god damn ipod as you walked into the middle of the roadway without even looking… just as my patience waiting for you turned into being pissed off at the lack of fucking respect – you then give me that ‘whatever’ look at the final second as you meander past my car while continuing to send texts or change your music… pay attention you fucking ignorant people! I too walk and always ensure I make eye contact with the driver of the vehicle before entering into their path… it is simply called RESPECT! If you want drivers to respect you then give them the same in return… —hurryyourassupandpayattention

OB, were they on a crosswalk? If not, it’s jaywalking, and from the sounds of it the pedestrian was inattentive and gave you insufficient stopping distance. I wouldn’t have stopped. Fuck ’em.
You call eye contact, respect, I call it roadawareness.
People are fucking stupid and it pisses me off.
cars are equipped with a horn for a reason…
