walk sign is for pedestrians

Seriously!

I drive, and I drive a huge honkin truck (before you get all environmental on me I use it to cart lumber – can’t do that in a Prius). So it’s not like I don’t understand the rules of the road from the drivers point of view.

Red means stop (or at least slow down and take a look) and the walk sign means that people are WALKING.

This isn’t that hard a concept.

So I’m walking the other day, minding my own business, crossing the street AT THE SIDEWALK, while the WALK sign is on. when I’m almost plowed under by this business-ish looking guy.

This guy needed a seeing-eye dog to drive. From what I could see he wasn’t even distracted by talking on a cell so he can’t even use that as a (bad) excuse.

I’m not a small person, I’m a fan of wearing bold colours and yet I was close enough to his car that when he finally saw me I was close enough to tap my travel mug, full of coffee, on his front windshield.

He almost made me spill my coffee. So not cool!
