    Walking rants

    Whilst I am walking on the sidewalk, you in the car driving around 30 mph, please no not honk at me....I do not know your car, I cannot see who you are, for you are driving to fast for me to see. You merely resemble my cats missing left nut sack. I do have to refrain from flipping off honkers, lest it be a "powers that be" at work...ikes!!!


    (also group of people walking towards me all spread out in a line, single file is nice and only lasts for about 5 seconds, so I do not have to step into the road or the mud. Thank you.)

    I know /exactly/ what you mean, and it drives me crazy to. People will honk while I'm walking up the sidewalk to the parking lot either before or after work, and I will have no clue who they are. Drives me nuts when people drive by and shout things at you for no apparent reason. Half the time you can't understand what they say, and they just drive on. Idiots.

    Also, if you're riding your bike down the street, and someone is coming out of work and just walking to their car, minding their own business, do NOT ride up behind them and shout just before you pass them so as to make them jump out of their pants. Had some young punk do this once, I wanted to throttle him.

      Ahhh! Being shouted at while I'm walking is one of my pet peeves. I don't have many friends, so if someones shouting at me, its a fair guess that its a random insult.

      For about a fortnight it seemed to happen every two days! Some guy would try to get me to jump by shouting loudly as he went past. Whats the point! How much satisfaction can your single-celled brain derive from that? And when you think about how cowardly it is - no repercussions, you just keep on driving - gaahh, I hate it!

      I walk EVERYWHERE, and I feel you pain about people hogging the sidewalk all to themselves, people are inconsiderate in so many ways. My personal top annoyance is the guy in front of you, walking veerrryy slooowwly, but has positioned themselves masterfully so that there isn't enough room to get past them. Pick a side, dammit!

      Sorry, rant over
