I've leveled this rant down for the younger people, and if you want to know my anger more than click on "Facebook" in my signature. Some contain may be impossible of me to reword because of my hatred. Therefore I suggest people who can't deal with hateful content to leave. That is your warning. Do not complain about how the following offended you. Pedestrians. If that's too hard for you to understand then here's an easier word(s): people who walk. They can't help but plague the streets, leaving their sidewalks empty. I'll just get right into it. These people are idiots! This may be the case in other countries, but since I live in CN I'll be pointed my javelin at these folk. For the four years I've lived here, I sense stupidity rising amongst these walking citizens. They jaywalk through the street, busy or not, hop the railing, no matter how tall, and proceed across. Sigh and what makes these act more retarded* is that their is a bridge to walk OVER traffic about a meter or two, away. But no. These brainless people would rather wait longer for the cars to drive by, than exercising and taking the time to go up and around this busy road. Not only is jaywalking an issue, but intersections have there share of idiots. Your pedestrian light is like the car light! Green means go, Red means no. These people are apparently COLOR BLIND. That or they lack commonsense, as a car rockets by them as they have the green. People who drive cars have stupidity common to the pedestrians, but that a another rant for another day. Seriously these people don't even look to see who is rockets at them, because these morons face their backs to the traffic. For the love of gods I've hit at least four people in the back of the head when I drove by. Geez! Here are some ideas for the people who deal with this. If you drive a car: If this idiots are waiting in the street, like between the paint that divides the lanes, before rocketing past them SWING THAT door open and slam these brainless zombies with your steel plated door. One* that will move them out of harms way. Two that will keep that idiot, and the people around 'em, from inching their way across the busy road. You have priority. The road is for cars, the sidewalk is for pedestrians. If you drive bicycle, scooter, motorcycle, Rollerblade, or skateboard then here's a fun tip. It's not at violent, but it can relieve your hateful tension. Smack them in the head, or stick your elbow out. You could smack some sense in them, or give them a painful reminder that this road is for wheeled vehicles and we cannot break as fast. I don't have anything else to add, yet I'm still waiting. This problem will most likely never be fixed. UNLESS a law is pasted where we can run over people who are in the middle of the street. This ends my rant of proof. I am TC and I bid you good night. * no offense to anyone who are retarded and/or color blind (yay, 200 posts...) Edited by `TakeCare, Feb 28 2009, 07:53 AM.

I still can't use this. Posts: 6,546 Group: Former Monarchs Member #6,722 Joined: March 16, 2008	Look at most laws and they will tell you that the pedestrian almost always has the right of way. Seriously, who do you think is going to jail in this scenario-- the person for jaywalking or the driver for splattering his guts all over the road? That being said, I have little animosity for pedestrians and naturally give them the right of way every time. Them jaywalking or jumping over bridges is not enough of a concern of mine to get upset over either. They simply consider the journey as the most convenient. After all, I'm sure most people here have jaywalked to some degree. However, there's one exception-- If I'm taking the courtesy to not put you through my windshield because you aren't at a crosswalk and you are perfectly healthy, don't take your time with it; get your ass across that street so that I and hundreds of other drivers behind me can go where we need to go. Believe it or not, you're not doing any of us favors by going at a snail's pace. We're actually saving your ass. But speaking of drivers, I loathe them infinitely more than pedestrians; probably because I live close to Atlanta which has notorious traffic the nation over. The use of turn signals and knowledge of one's route are not common characteristics of drivers here, so I can't tell you how many times I've been cut off or nearly ended up in a wreck, and I've only been driving since this past Christmas Eve! Also, slow drivers. Ugh, slow drivers. Obviously, I don't believe in speed limits. I'll gladly do 65 on a 35 and in fact do this almost everyday. But even though I'm automatically in the wrong in this scenario, you still need to get out of the far left lane if you have the audacity to actually do 35. Notice the numerous signs that say "slower traffic keep right?" They put that shit there for a reason. If you want to abide by a ridiculously low speed limit sign, the least you could do is follow every other one as well, including the ones telling you to get out of my way. Move.

TIME TO REALLY EXPLODE! Posts: 1,354 Group: A Rank Hero Member #9,196 Joined: July 13, 2008 Playstation Network ID: MSX8976 Xbox Live Gamertag: MetalSyX	If you live in a city, get used to jaywalkers. Simple as that. Especially if you have a college in your city. I generally don't mind jaywalking for the most part. But, I get angry if they jaywalk when I'm fairly close to them, making me slow down to avoid, yanno, homicide. Of course, most people who jaywalk (Including myself. I need to get to class, you Bleeps. XP) are smart about it, only going when there are no cars for a while. That's a common courtesy. As for intersections, if the light for the traffic parallel to me is red, but no cars are turning onto or coming on the perpendicular road for a while, I'm crossing. People do that here all the time, but they are smart about it. I can understand your frustration, but you gotta get used to it. Edited by D-Metal X, Feb 28 2009, 11:42 PM.
