Pedestrians Are Not Invincible

What a way to start the week. I'm on my way to work this morning...nice and early. I stroll into Dunkin Donuts and order my medium coffee with skim milk and two sugars. I leave just in time to walk out and see some idiot dart into a crosswalk without looking both ways. One car slams on his breaks so he wouldn't kill the idiot...this car was an Audi. The giant pickup truck behind him didn't have a prayer of stopping on a slippery road (did I mention it was raining) and PLOW...right into the back of the Audi...the rear window exploded and the Audi slid several feet. The idiot in the crosswalk, who I will continue to refer to as an idiot in lieu of using the name fuckhead...stares at the accident he just caused and then jumps in a truck and LEAVES. He left the fucking accident scene and he CAUSED the accident. You better believe I wrote down the big white phone number on the side of the landscaping truck he drove off in. Idiot. The driver of the truck feels like crap...the driver of the Audi is on his way to the hospital in an ambulance...and the idiot that caused the whole thing is off having breakfast. People piss me off sometimes.

Pedestrians, listen up. You DO have the right of way in a crosswalk...but you still have to look both ways. You do. People in cars...those are weapons on wheels...can only stop SO quickly. So now, I'm an official witness to the accident...I had to hang out and talk to the police (while one of them went to get coffee and donuts by the way) and now I'll sit back and wait for a call from the insurance company...for an accident I wasn't even involved in. How about that?
