July 4, 201115 yr On a similar note:People who don't use turning signals, and enarly kill you as you cross the street due to this. And then honk at you as if it's somehow your fault that you're in their way. The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance. The intent is the same-- to harm others.[hide=Tifers say the darndest things]I told her there was a secret method to doing it - and there is - but my once nimble and agile fingers were unable to perform because I was under the influence.I would laugh, not hate.

July 4, 201115 yr It irks me when a car I'm in makes a turn and I don't hear the little "click click" that happens when you turn signal. In other words, when cars that I'm in don't signal.
July 4, 201115 yr No matter what, if I'm crossing a street and the side nearest me has an opening in the cars, I will stand in the middle of the lane, waiting for the other side to stop/open up. I don't give a [cabbage] if I piss people off, nobody stops for pedestrians so we have to do what we can to cross.What the [bleep] man? Nobody stops for pedestrains in the middle of the street because we aren't supposed to, it can be dangerous and time consuming. Use a crosswalk.
July 4, 201115 yr Bikers that have no respect for the road tend to annoy me as well. "Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick." - Master Tang

Nobody stops for pedestrains in the middle of the street because we aren't supposed to, it can be dangerous and time consuming. Use a crosswalk. Oh, sorry. Shall I go get the paint and make it? Because the nearest crosswalk to where I have to cross is about a half a mile away. PM me for fitocracy invite

July 4, 201115 yr Well the street I have to cross is a cross-state route, so I'd prefer that a few cars wait an extra 10 seconds rather than I wait 5 minutes. PM me for fitocracy invite
July 4, 201115 yr Well the street I have to cross is a cross-state route, so I'd prefer that a few cars wait an extra 10 seconds rather than I wait 5 minutes.Hence why people are a little upset.

But you can't contest it, because legally they have the right of way. There's no ifs, ands or buts about it. Does the marked crosswalk have a stop sign? If it doesn't they have no obligation to stop; and once again you have to wait. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti

July 4, 201115 yr I wouldn't step onto a crosswalk on a busy road if cars haven't stopped yet, in hopes they'll stop, personally.
July 4, 201115 yr Same here in the state of Maine.That's what we were taught in Drivers Ed. "Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick." - Master Tang
July 4, 201115 yr Interesting. I don't think we have any crosswalks without stop signs here though... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
July 4, 201115 yr Interesting. I don't think we have any crosswalks without stop signs here though...Any crosswalks we have either have a stop sign or a "yield to pedestrians" sign with them. People still cross in the middle of the streets though. Really annoying on a busy highway. Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!

He's not in a crosswalk, though, that's the point. The way I always figure it is that a large 2 ton hunk of metal moving in excess of 40 mph is going to win against my puny flesh body. Therefore, drivers have right of way. Command the Murderous Chalices! Drink ye harpooners! drink and swear, ye men that man the deathful whaleboat's bow- Death to Moby Dick!BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

July 4, 201115 yr Yup. Well if pedestrians are supposed to have ROW on crosswalks and cars aren't yielding they're definitely in the wrong...but it's not fair to just make your own crosswalk and do whatever you want. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
July 4, 201115 yr There's supposed to be a 200$ fine for not stopping at crosswalks, but the cops have better things to do like eating doughnuts. PM me for fitocracy invite
July 4, 201115 yr It's a stupid contradiction. Cars have a right of way no matter what except for stoppable crosswalks, but then pedestrians have the right of way no matter what too. Truthfully though, I don't get really mad if the people walk fast. I understand how annoying it is to wait forever. But, swear to God, if you walk slow or walk diagonally... "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

July 4, 201115 yr It's not that the pedestrains have the ROW in any situation. It's more of a "Don't run over a person even if he's completely asking for it".
