That's Not How Crosswalks Work.

Or traffic lights, that’s not how any of this works.

Kinja'd!!!

So today I was yelled at by a stupid individual in a minivan for trying to go at a green light. I was waiting to turn left a green light, and the on coming vehicle wasn’t moving. I was confused, wondering if I she was also turning left? So I inched forward some more. She starts driving forward... then pulls up to me and rolls her window down.

She then begins to chew me out because “ you were supposed to wait for those kids to cross, at the crosswalk.” Now I’ll admit I flipped out, I called her and f*cking idiot, she started talking again and I yelled “you need to moooooove, you’re in the middle of an intersection”. Then she told me I could go behind her, and signaled to the kids to cross.

Keep in mind there was at least one more car behind each of us.

This incident was the most road rage-y I’ve ever been, because it was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen someone do behind the wheel of a car. The worst thing is the kids, probably high school freshman, knew what they were doing, the crosswalk sign was red, and traffic had a green light. They knew they couldn’t cross, but this 40 something year old woman with a stick up her butt, thought she knew better.

Reminds me of the time some goober stuck his bicycle out in the middle of the lane, stopping me, just so two people could jaywalk.

Ooooh that would piss me off. It’s bad enough when ipsome one jaywalks, but even worse when some is like “hey slow down buddy, these people have the right to illegally cross here, instead of walking down to a crosswalk, like everyone else.

Oh, that burns me up. Too bad there wasn’t a cop around to ticket her.

I know, the real kicker is we were two blocks from the police station.

This sounds just dumb on her part. My go to phrase for traffic stupidity is “that’s not how any of this works.” And my 2 year old daughter inevitably repeats it with a confused tone in her voice.

Maybe you can at least enjoy this vicariously with me then. I came out of Home Depot to find someone had parked illegally and blocked out a handicap spot. I was parked in that spot and could not get back in my car. I went and got the cop that hangs out at the store entrance, and he waited with me until the miscreant parker (who was “just running in”) came out. I got to watch as he put the fear of god into him, telling him how he could have him towed, etc. When the guy had squirmed enough, he let him go. Made my day. So take heart! Sometimes the assholes get their due.
