[expletive] you, you [expletive]! I hope you die.

There's a crosswalk of an incredibly busy outlet mall here that always has tons of people in it. I'm one of those people and two cars are absolutely flying by parking lot standards going about 40 MPH as I am crossing the street. The first car doesn't even touch the brakes and I actually have to take a half step back to avoid being clipped by the side mirror. The only reason I didn't get killed was because I saw them coming and knew they weren't slowing down. I just stand there and say "Are you [expletive] kidding me?" The second car absolutely locks their brakes to come to a stop halfway in the crosswalk. The girl rolls down her window and says "Oh I'm sorry" dripping with sarcasm. Like I'm the [expletive] for hoping people follow basic rules of the road. Before I can even get all the way across she absolutely floors it, peeling out (no exaggeration) and almost clipping my heel. This is all in a freaking parking lot to fight for the right to beat maybe one other car to wait in a bumper to bumper line of cars to turn onto a real street about 100 yards away. That's totally worth killing someone over.

I'll add those two people to my rant, especially that girl.

It's stories like this that make me incredibly happy that I don't drive anymore. Not driving removes an incredible amount of stress, danger, and cost from my life.

I've seen this way too many times on campus. Every day, it seems as though far too many people get the brilliant idea to drive through a small and congested area where 26,000 students are in the midst of a class change, and they decide to get pissed off because the crosswalks are actually being used - heaven forbid a college campus be pedestrian friendly. One day in particular, I was just starting to cross the crosswalk when I look up and see a white 4Runner trying to push its way through a crowd of students in the middle of the street. The driver was visibly angry, honking and doing everything possible to make sure her displeasure was well-known. I laughed along with all of the other bystanders. Right before she sped away, one of the crosswalk goers decided to take matters into his own hands, and he gave her left rear fender a nice kick that left a visible mark. Now, I don't recommend kicking other peoples' cars to exact your revenge, but this woman had it coming. The incident definitely made my day.

When I was in high school it was a hobby a bunch of guys I know to make college guys run across the street. We'd drive through the local college (a small private school full of rich arogant jerks) on a busy public street and the frat boys would walk in front of oncoming cars and never in a cross walk. We got sick of them making cars stop for them so we started speeding up when they walked in front of us. They finally got the hint because it almost never happens anymore after being a common thing for 50 years before. I think the college started giving the frat guys hell about doing it too because cross walk usage is the norm now.

Trust me, from a driver's perspective, it's annoying when the people behind you get frustrated because you're obeying the rules of the road.

I was in the turn lane, and there were pedestrians crossing the road, so I waited for them to cross before I started my turn. Of course, the car behind me couldn't stand this and she threw her hands up in disgust.

Having said that, when I am crossing the street on foot, I do tend to jog it a little bit. I don't care if it makes me an a-hole or not, I hate it when people who cross the street on foot manage to walk slower than any human ever should.

Yeah, I jog, too. But for those who have been on their feet all day, I can understand why they'd take their times.

Dear giant douche bag in your white Jeep,

[expletive] die you [expletive]! You could see that I was crossing the street at a crosswalk 30 yards away from you, that I was already in the middle of the road, but you had to gun it up to 60 in a 30 mph zone just so I couldn't cross the street. [expletive] you a hundred times in your puny [expletive] redneck brain. If you're married I hope your wife [expletive] dies too, but not before finding out that you cheated on her. If you have kids I hope they live and get put in foster care with people who beat them.

Actually, you should hope he dies from a very, very slow version of bubonic plague, but not before he becomes a male prostitute to pay for the medical bills.

That may have been me, hudler, if that happened where your location is currently set to. On second thought, probably not, because the only reason to cross the road was to go to class. I may have cheered you on from the porch, though, depending on who was in the road at the time. Yeah, I was a cake eater... but not the rich, arrogant jerk kind. I think.

When did you graduate? Didn't you love it when a townie called you a cake-eater?

Approve this rant.

Happened to me before, and I threw my drink at the back of his car window in anger.
