The Reason Insurance Rates Are So High In This City
Apparently in downtown Lynn, if you see a red light, a walk signal, and a pedestrian in the crosswalk, you don't stop. Instead you STEP ON IT hard enough for said pedestrian to hear a loud SQUEEEEAAAAKKKK!!!! as you accelerate through said crosswalk.
She missed me by about a foot. Work on your aim, bitch!

When I lived in Brookline, there was this one intersection I had to cross on the way home every day. I'm not sure if the timing on the lights was off or WHAT, but every single time I got that "WALK" signal, I had to avoid not one but several cars that came barrelling through.
After awhile, I started toting along projectiles to throw at them. I recommend potatoes. Not to heavy and make a nice, satisfying, -THUD- when flung at the windshields of oncoming cars or the doors of near-misses. :)

I too have noticed that being a pedestrian in a crosswalk, even being a pedestrian WITH A FRICKIN BABY CARRIAGE in a crosswalk, seems to mean "don't mind l'il ol' me (and MY FRICKIN BABY), drive right on through!"

Love the potato idea, I may take that up! Or perhaps a BB gun to shoot out the tires of drivers who refuse to stop for us?
Though in this part of town I'm likely to piss off a driver with no license and multiple outstanding warrants driving an unregistered, uninsured stolen vehicle while drunk, stoned, and/or high on crack. The mind boggles...
