[[CENTER][CENTER][CENTER]CENTER]I am an Agoraphobic.
It takes a lot of effort on my behalf to muster up the courage and energy up to go walk to our local store.
I cross w/in the crosswalk Very Legally.
But, darn it to frig-gen HE double hockey stick, if it isn't a speeding car each or at least every 3 attempts that I walk to the store my face is made to grimace as i witness these very evil drivers who choose to accelerate upon me walking in the crosswalk.
There is no excuse, I am usually more than 1/2 ways across when a car will come right at me not slowing down but accelerating towards me faster and faster.
So I am so startled that I sign using my finger spelling, "Hello, this is a cross walk, and i am a pedestrian. Do you mind?" Then I continue to cross.
I cannot run I am a large Euro-American female and my boobs are too big to run across the street like a coward.We need speed humps round here but they expect us to go door to door like Avon ladies in order to get a petition signed to do that.
That is the latest excuse, at least. Anyhow the humps need to go in the areas of 100 ft before either side of the crosswalks. Therefore giving the cars NO EXCUSES to ACCELERATE upon us PEDESTRIANS. I don't know if they are being paid to attempt to kill me via maiming me with their vehicles or what not, but it sure as hell seems that way to me.
I never see anyone else being rushed by cars. Though I have seen some foreigners wait at the street crossing for up to 5 minutes before crossing. There aren't even any cars round except way over on the Blvd. As pedestrians we are not responsible to predict whether those cars are going to whip around the corner and Not slow down. we have a right as pedestrians to cross the street and as drivers they must slow down as the round the corner from the Blvd.
The street where I cross is a residential street as well as a street for business, as the shopping Ctr is on this street running perpendicular to the very fast moving cars on the main Blvd. I do not wish to become a part of the pavement, except as a pedestrian. I am going to special order a tazer.
If a car threatens my safety by accelerating very quickly upon my body , very legally walking across the crosswalk, then i am going to taze these homicidal y insane drivers. If they allow themselves to speed up and get close enough to me that they cause my heart to flutter, then touche to them.
They will feel my reign of power upon their carelessly accelerating cars. See most of those drivers don't even live in my area. They are either transient renters who move out w/in 5 yrs, or they are just people who don't even live in this area.
Therefore some of them have a COSCO attitude and wish to,"Kill whatever gets in their way!!" That's the 1st amendment of the church of satan.
Well, I am No satan worshiper, BUT i am well read. Moreover; i am also i am a righteous pedestrian, within reason.
Like I said, I cross after checking to make sure that their is a clearance 1st.
But when i'm more than 1/2 way across and these cars speed up to cause me undue anxiety, well then I just want them to feel anxious about messing with the Wrong Pedestrian.
They do sell tazers
and I plan to purchase 1!!!
