maybe it's me.
there are times when i wonder if i am, in fact, wonder woman. other than the penchant for stars and the hot body, little clues like the fact that my vehicle is completely invisible give it away. i was crossing an intersection the other day and had almost completely cleared the way when these idiots decided to step out in front of my car to cross the street. i understand the whole thing about pedestrian right-of-way, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't apply when i have not only left my side of the 4-way stop, but am beyond the middle of the intersection and almost completely out of it. so what the f? why look straight at my oncoming car, and decide to go anyway? oh, and did i mention that they were carrying a baby? oh yeah. great.
so i slam on my brakes and what do you know but i hear someone run in to the back of my car. eyes flashing to my rear mirrors, thinking i've been rear-ended again, i pull over and get out my car to find a lady with a toppled bike sitting in the middle of the road. i ran to get her, noticing the fools who had walked in front of me now safely back on the sidewalk, LAUGHING. i have to admit, i toyed a moment with going to help the lady (who had a few people there already) and chasing down those f'ers. but i went to the lady, and helped her to the sidewalk. she was mumbling incoherently and i was concerned... right up to the point where she said "the same thing happened to me this morning when i was leaving church... i thought a car was going to go, and it stopped, and i flew across the hood."

ah. okay. so it's like a sport of yours. got it. well, thanks for playing.
current mood: what the ??
