Neighbor’s Porsche is red.
This morning I picked up my bicycle from another tune up (rear rim was yawing something like 5mm) and because I’m a lazy asshole I took my jeep for the two mile trip to the bike shop: this was a mistake
After receiving my bike and loading it to my car I proceed to back out of the spot... My jeep has a lot of blindspots, so I was switching between the mirrors and the camera, I realized there was no one there and I began backing out, suddenly a pedestrian approaches my moving vehicle and is shocked I am in fact moving a vehicle. She stops centimeters away from my car and I spot her in my mirror and stomp on the brakes worried about her ignoring my moving vehicle.
She then looks at me, approaches to the window and says
“YOU ALMOST RUN ME OVER”
“Sorry, ma’am”
“Im not angry I’m just tellin ya”
“It’s fine ma’am”
“Im not angry it’s just that I’m walking here you know”
She then stomps here way out of my path and I move worried she might try some dumb shit again.
Now... I am a pedestrian too sometimes, and worse, a cyclist... I don’t know if my family is wierd and I am the only person taught not to walk into the path of a moving vehicle... But she did have a point that I need to look out for people like her...
Not the worst thing... I was once flipped off and yelled by a dude who flat out crossed a three lane road while we had the green light.

2 miles? Why not just walk there and ride the bike home?

i once intentionally crashed my bike to avoid t boning a car
had some good speed going too.... it was only when the car was blocking my route up ahead that i remembered i had no brakes
slowed down with my feet as much as i could before turning as sharply as i could and tumbling to a stop just short of hitting the car
driver probably thought i was on crack (i wasnt... im just stupid)
(oh yeah... meant to say... sounds like the walking person was lacking in the self preservation department..... theres a lot of those around)

Shamefully the Chilango accent isn’t as ubiquitous as the New Yorker accent

I don’t think I’ve ever gathered enough speed to be scared other than when I did a 46km tour in summer and I lost rear brakes on a downhill.

I once intentionally t-boned a car on my bike after successfully stopping in time. He pulled right across the bike lane and I wasn’t having it. Slowed down enough that I wouldn’t fall off, and *bump*. No damage to either vehicle, but I bet it was the last time he did that.

It’s probably common knowledge, but that was unscripted and just a civilian taxi driver. Whatshisname says that he almost said, “I’m acting here” instead.

I almost ran over an elderly couple one night because of blind spots. They were rightfully upset, but kind of dicks about it. I was barely moving, they got out of my way, all is right with the world, but the woman insisted on chewing me out.

One thing I tell my kids is to pay attention to the direction any given car is going... and that you don’t want to be in front of where any vehicle is going.
So far, neither myself nor my kids have gotten hit by any vehicle.

I’m scared of Mexican drivers but if I lived somewhere safer I’d go ahead and close the mirrors of people that block the way for bicycles and motorcycles.... Sometimes they see you comming and block you out on purpose.

Okay... we have proof you’re lazy... but you need to provide some evidence to support your claim that you’re an asshole.

Generally it’s car users who are dicks to pedestrians, but that doesn’t mean pedestrians can be assholes too.

Nope. And I see above evidence DISPROVING that you are an asshole:
“YOU ALMOST RUN ME OVER”
“Sorry, ma’am”
“Im not angry I’m just tellin ya”
“It’s fine ma’am”
You referred to that person as ma’am . Not ‘bitch’, ‘loser’ or ‘philistine’, but MA’AM !!!
I THINK WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE!!!

I dunno, I just didn’t want to get into trouble... As some say, sometimes you need to let the customer shake harder.
Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing.

I saw the title and thought that you were looking for me. No? OK, carry on then...
