Down with Pedestrians

February 13th, 2007

They get in my way.

Nooooobooooody walks in LA, they say.

Pffffffffft.

Then why are there all these pro-pedestrian regulations, pray tell?

Now in Miami, where you can really say no one ever walks, there’s a good reason for it.

There, it’s an At Your Own Risk kind of activity thing.

What I’m trying to say here is I am simply not used to stopping when I see a pedestrian in my way. And it’s particularly frustrating when the car in front of you brakes all of a sudden because there’s a pedestrian in his way.

I’m in a car, therefore I’m bigger.

Bigger trumps smaller, I say.

Therefore, get out of my way.

That’s all I’m trying to say.
