Pedestrians have the right of way...

I have Visigoth in my heritage. Move or I'll sack your cart.

Irish in mine... will a screaming naked spear-chucking headhunter move yer ass?

I was going to make a post about this, but then I thought somebody might think of a legitimate reason for somebody to be walking down the middle of the traffic lane in parking lots.

Guess I'll keep waiting.

I especially see this at a mall with sings in the lot reading "Our pedestrians always have the right of way." I freakin' hate it when people do it.

I have German in my heritage. Don't make me call in the Luftwaffe and the Panzers on yer ass.

LOL I too have German in my heritage. However, some of my Norwegian ancestors were supposedly here about 500 years *before* Columbus. How about that...kicking ass on *both* sides of the Atlantic

Seriously though, pedestrians suck. They all think that everyone can stop on a dime, and won't think twice about stepping out in front of a 25-mph moving vehicle. Sorry, but even a Geo Metro can send you to the hospital at that speed... But, lately there seems to be a new trend starting. I'm talking about the college students who will literally *run* to the corner, and then take an eternity to cross the street, only to start running again. What the hell is that?

I have German in my heritage too. But I also have Cherokee, Irish and Dutch.

So you get a choice. I can either:

a) stick a shoe up your ass to kick your head in with

b) bust your empty noggin open with the nearest glass bottle

c) take you hostage and scalp you

Either way, I'm sure my ancestors were people you didn't give shit to or took any.

Want to witness me at my "best" . . . go with me to WallyWorld. It's an exercise in restraint.

Ah, the Luftwaffe...the Washington Generals of the History Channel....

Yes, I hate the people that situate themselves so that they claim an entire aisle. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Usually I have to say "excuse me" a couple times before they will acknowledge me....One of these times I'm tempted to say, "Excuse me...Asshole".

Pedestrians are idiots. because SO MANY people think 'oh pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way'

True... at designated cross walks/intersections/lights etc.

If you stroll through 4 lane traffic in the middle of the road and are hit.. that IS your own damn fault and any attempt to blame the driver wouldn't really work.

I see this crap all the time. Right by the local little mall in my town they've installed a crosswalk because people continually were trying to cross 4 lanes of traffic with no lights there etc.

So they've put in a traffic light and I STILL see daily people walking across the street (against the light so cars are still coming at them) and they will cross dodging traffic when they are... 15 - 20 feet from the lights that were put there so people COULD cross safely!.

Yes i jaywalk, alot. but NOT during busy traffic, and especially not if im all of 15 ft from a crosswalk that goes directly TO my intended destination :P.
