This jackass tried to kill me this morning.

[weegegirl 2]

So, I'm out jogging this morning, in my groove, headphones on, back to traffic, on sidewalk. There is a small enterance coming up to this shopping center... not a main entrance with a traffic light or anything like that. I look over my left shoulder, see nobody nearby with a turn signal on, and so I keep on going. As I'm crossing the enterance, this fat ass in his SUV, talking on his cell phone, practically rurns me over cutting in front of me. I come to a complete stop (rather than run into the side of his truck) and give him the standard "WTF look". He glares at me, like I'm in the wrong, and pulls into the shopping center. I swear to God, I almost chased him down and asked him who peed in his cheerios! But I decided I wouldn't let it ruin my day. Still on my mind though.


GRRRR... get off your cell phones and drive. And don't run over runners, eh?



On a side note... can you smoke in heaven?

Obviously - if she is contemplating doing herself in in 30 different ways just to have a ciggarette with St. Peter.

Did I read too much into that?

That's pretty normal for people driving.

You should ride a motorcycle. Then you'd have a lot of stories like this. Of course at one point my beard was long, my hair was long and I looked like one really scary dirty biker. Turning around and following the vehicle for a little bit did wonders for some soccermoms who tried to kill me while chatting on their cell phones. I've never seen a mini-van get up and git like that.

Something tells me the fatty suit in his SUV would not feel too threatened by me jogging after him.

He might think "sweet, she nearly hit my SUV now she wants to have sex with me..."

Atleast I've found that people aren't the smartest of things, so there's a good chance for that.

Anyone else see the irony?

They are always on cellphones...

[weegegirl 2]

How is that ironic? I'm a pedestrian on a sidewalk listening to music. I am not driving a potential dangerous weapon with my hands occupied by a phone. My hands are free, I'm aware of my surroundings, and I'm not putting anyone in danger.

Now where's the irony please?

(WARNING: Don't mess with me on day 4 damnit! )

[TheAnvil 0]

I didn't do it.

I am a JACKASS and not a jackass.

Coming close to a runner like that is just flat plain piss poor driving - cell phone, no cell phone, or whatever. What a dumbfuck.

Keep up that running! Congrats on day four....

Note, oh wise one, that she made sure to look back to see if anyone was about to turn into the intersection she was going to jog across. She was situationally aware. The fat fuck in the SUV was not. You only see irony here b/c you want to.

Micro! Don't kill the poor guy!

But thank you for coming to my defense.

[Slappie 9]

I can see where you're trying to show irony narcimund, but you're off base. I have to agree with Weege here narci. She's running and listening to a headset. Nothing like trying to operate a 6k lbs vehicle with your mind not on it's immediate task, instead it's trying to respond to the conversation at hand. Driving takes a backseat when a phone in involved. Listening to a headset and jogging is like driving and listening to the radio. Take no interaction from your brain unless you're fumbling with the stations or trying to load a cd.

Not the same at all...

Next?

Nope. There is no irony. The driver didn't yield entering or exiting a private drive from a public roadway. Whats unfortunate is that no one with the authority to explain that fact to the motorist saw the incident.

You've not been around long enough to know narcimund. He takes shots at all us breeders when he's able. He's pretty narcissistic.

narcimund should be called the devils advocate -

If there is an opposing view - he's on it.

Hey Narci . . . BLUE!

Been there, done that, got the (trauma center) t-shirt. I'm a bitch when it comes to drivers who don't respect pedestrian right-of-way. I was that way before the guy who ran a red light plowed into me (in a crosswalk) and sent me flying into a utility box; it just made me even more vocal about it. "Crosswalk, asshole" is my favorite phrase, and I use it often.

THAT SAID (and I'm not saying anything about your habits as a pedestrian, Liz) I think it's also a two-way street (literally! ), and I very rarely jaywalk. I will sit at crosswalks waiting for the light to turn even if there's not any traffic coming. I don't cross in the middle of crowded streets. I feel like if I'm gonna bitch every time some dumbass doesn't respect pedestrian right-of-way, I need to hold up my end of the bargain and not be in the street when I don't have the right-of-way.

Hell man, he's got the big fancy SUV, the cell-phone and all the shit that goes with it. It's his damned world and nobody better get in his world! (that's his attitude) The arrogant SOB needs an ass whuppin', is what he needs! I really believe, cell-phones while driving, should be against the law in every state! If, you need to make a phone call that bad, pull off the the damned road, put the vehicle in park and make all the calls you want. I've seen what Weege experienced more times than I care too. End of rant... thank you.
