Pedestrians: If you are hanging out at the very edge of a cross walk and I stop my car to let you cross… don’t look at me like I’m the fucking idiot. YOU are the ones standing at a spot designated to allow you to cross the street. Cars stopped in both directions to let you go. You look at us briefly then continue your conversation. Either cross the street or move to a better location for socializing or as my grandmother would say, “Either piss or get off the pot.” —This Vehicle Stops at Crosswalks

run them over a a crosswalk, and yol only get two points.unless of course, they are pregant, have a kid with them, and of course a female, then you get 15 points.
I always make eye contact before I go, because once in a blue moon they start to drive when you’re in front of them.
Me in a wheelchair being pushed sideways on a crosswalk of QueenW in Toronto.
Scared the hell out of me.
After that, I make sure we see each other.
I hate when people do that. There was a guy who used to beg for change at a crosswalk near the Barrington St Superstore. He always looked like he wanted to cross.
Related but totally not, yesterday there was a woman in a wheelchair at the Clayton Park McDonalds set of light who waited for the light by parking on the street. This wouldn’t be an issue were it not for me trying to turn right with a 60 foot bus around her. That turn is horrible enough as it is in a bus, I had to honk her out of the way about 75% of the way through the turn as my back end was creeping closer and closer to her and she did exactly nothing to get out of the way.
I cant stand pedestrians, I really cant… I love it when they purposely take their time walking across the street and have a smirk on their face doing it. It makes me want to run them over… Also when they just jump out onto the street, dont look or anything, just expect the world to stop for them. I again, would love to run them over..
Don’t worry, one of these days a mirror on a truck will take their heads off as if drives by.
The other day, some guy gestured me to walk faster so he could turn right while I had the light…so I walked slower 🙂
