Approve this rant.

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

I think it's fine to jog or pick up the pace when walking across a crosswalk if that's what you want to do (and I do that too quite often). But there is no imperative that pedestrians do that. People driving in cars need to get it through their skulls that the right to using the roads is contingent on them realizing that they have to share it with all the other people (pedestrians, cyclists) who also have the right to get to wherever it is they are going. And sometimes that means taking a little longer to get to where you're going.

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.

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?

'86. Was that you? I never got the cake eater thing. Didn't you guys have cake? Maybe brownies for your b'day.

I was there when the big news on "local" TV one winter was the giant snowball fight that, uh, escalated.

I graduated from high school in '87, so that probably was me. I'm not sure about the 'cake-eater' thing either,we've always called the Westminster guys that. I do know that 'cake-eater' is a jazz era term used to call someone a sissy. The college kids and locals get along a lot better now, but until the 90's there was a barely concealed hatred between the two groups with a lot of fights,with the frat boys usually getting the worst end of it.

I read it in a Playboy article about jazz several years ago,so what does it mean then?

I have no problem with pedestrians crossing at whatever speed they so choose at crosswalks.

What makes me want to hit people is when they saunter(and I do mean saunter) across big streets like Grand or Gravois, as if daring me to hit them, in the middle of the street. No crosswalk, nothing. They don't even stop when I get close and finally slow down and let them traipse by. It's as if they know that I wouldn't dare hit them.

What if I don't see you, morons?

[docellis]

I know more about crosswalks than anyone on this board. No, I know more about crosswalks than anyone period.
And I'd look boastful, if I was honest and told you that I know more about pedestrians than anyone in the world.
