froggy_dearHey! I almost got run down in the crosswalk yesterday! Isn't that fun!
The bus stop I get off at in the morning is in the middle of a block. There's a crosswalk in the middle of the block, just in front of where the bus stops. I get off the bus, book around the front of it and start crossing the street. I look to the right - no cars. To my left is the giant bus, taking up the road while boarding passengers. I stride purposefully out into the crosswalk as if, you know, I wanted to cross the street.
Then this car zooms around the bus (double yellow by the way)and ends up passing like a foot and a half in front of me. They slow a little when they see me, but they were going pretty fast around the bus. The bus honks. I do my best to give a pissed off glare at the dude in the passenger seat who is staring up at me.
In retrospect, I should have flicked them off.
