Crossing the Road

My mother taught me that I should stop and look both ways to cross a road. And furthermore to only cross at a crosswalk and never challenge on-coming traffic. It's great advice especially if a vehicle should strike you within the crosswalk (you get to sue them for all they're worth if they hit you).

In MA the law protects pedestrians in the crosswalk.

But only in the fucking crosswalk (I'm talking to you Cambridge assholes) do you have right of way (and also legally protected).

I'm not going to slow down for you unless you are in a crosswalk. In fact I want to speed up when you cross the road (not in a crosswalk) while your face is glued to your iphone in your dick-head attempt to update your twitter and facebook.

And to the dried up old biddy that shouted at me for shaking my head at a jogger crossing the street where there was no crosswalk, I hope you die a horrible dismembering death when you try to cross the road thinking that you always have right of way as a pedestrian.

Fuck you, Cambridge pedestrians. Fuck you and the cars you don't know how to drive.
