Jun. 27th, 2008 10:33 amI nearly got hit by some stupid bitch on a pelican crossing this morning on the way to work.
(For the non-British or otherwise unaware, they're crossing points where pedestrians have automatic right of way and cars have to stop until there's nobody trying to cross.)
She just came tearing up the road, didn't even slow down until she was about two feet away from me, and then when I glared at her, glared back and mouthed something about "late". I have no idea if she meant 'I'm late', 'I didn't see you until late', or something else entirely, but I don't really care.
I could see her coming, so there's no way she didn't see either me on the road or the big yellow flashing lights at either side. Stupid bitch could have killed me and she didn't even apologise.
*fulminates*
