So I was driving to the Y tonight, and I was pulling up to a line of cars stopped at a red line, and I notice a woman crossing the street. Not in a crosswalk, mind you, just crossing the street. And I can tell that if she keeps walking in a straight line, she’ll want to cross exactly where my car would be if I pull up behind the van that’s stopped in front of me (which is maybe a quarter of a block away from the light itself). So, do I stop a bit short, wait for her to pass, and then pull up behind the van?
No, I do not. Normally I’m pretty considerate of pedestrians. But the jaywalking in that area is just insane and it drives me up a wall. And I’m really sick of people just crossing the road at random, seeing cars coming, but not really caring. And it’s not like I’m going to hit her; I’m going to get there first, and she’ll just have to walk around my car.
Which is what happened. But first, she paused at my window and glared in at me, then walked around. And I admit that I’ve done similar things. Sometimes, I admit, I’ve let my bag hit a car as I walk around it, glaring at the driver. But that’s when I’m crossing in a crosswalk, and a driver had decided that he or she needs to completely block the crosswalk. If I’m jaywalking? Yeah, I’m losing the ‘tude.
