That Guy

You know that guy who walks out into the middle of a busy four lane road? I'm not talking about at an intersection or somewhere where there's a crosswalk, I'm talking about the guy who walks out into the middle of the road at a very casual pace so that the traffic in the two lanes opposite the direction you are driving in must hit their brakes to slow down and avoid hitting him. And he doesn't even look at those cars, he just assumes that they'll stop as he lopes through the middle of the street. And you know how he then walks across the turning lane in the middle of the road and prepares to just stride on out in front of your car too, assuming that you will stop for him even though he does not have the right of way (despite some people's misconceptions, pedestrians only have the right of way in designated crosswalks)? And you know how when you don't slow down for him he looks up at you in complete surprise, standing there in the turn lane, and glares at you as you pass by him like you just kicked his dog or something? You know that guy? What's with that guy?

Hey, I'm that guy! It's blowin'
-3k temps and still raining and nobody notices my a** trying to cross while the SUV army is staring ME down. Oh, and Orlando... those guys are pissed becuase #1 They live in Orlando. #2 Don't have a car. Good luck with that in a city (can we just call it a 'Sprawly') built with a firm foundation of spite for pedestrians.
