Okay, I realize that this is a little bit more of a rant than I usually write, but given the frequency of occurrence - I feel it is warranted...and potentially could be used as a public safety announcement.
To all of the pedestrians who walk where I work:
Note, a car is bigger than you, by roughly 8,000 pounds!
So please stop walking out directly in front of my car, against the crossing signals, forcing me to slam on my brakes! (insert cursing here!) Resulting in complete chaos in the front seat of my car because...
I have just lost complete control of my bladder, in my fear that I will squash you (mental note to me, put a towel in the car - just kidding - well, sort of...)
My coffee has dislodged itself from the cup holder and distributed itself all over my dashboard (use number two for the towel-i know 'ewww'... but I couldn't resist). This makes for an extremely unhappy non-morning person and subsequently makes me much more likely to run over the next person who steps out in front of me...so you will have that on your conscience!
The entire contents of my purse has crashed to the floor and scattered under the seat, including my phone. Which means...I will not be able to find it in time to dial 911 to call an ambulance and save your inconsiderate ass when you do this again, crossing at the next block, to another poor driver!!
Also worth remembering, dear pedestrian (tone dripping with sarcasm), is that these circumstances magnify ten-fold when there is any type of precipitation.
6" of snow is not the time to give me 2" to stop my 8,000 pound car!! (simple physics people!)
I just thought you should know.

Evidently, these lucky pedestrians never have to actually navigate a car in the snow or otherwise. They simply don't get it.
Pity.
