Unfortunately some people don't get a chance to learn from their mistakes...The rather robust women walking with their back to traffic reminded me of an incident not a week ago. I was in a parking lot and that same situation happneed to me...I idled up rather close and put my truck into neutral...then HONKED and revved my truck up...There were three women and they moved faster than most running backs I've seen...Wish I woulda had a camera, but thankfully I didn't have a recorder they turned into "potty" mouths...lolBendigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778410776622770346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303387679097070903.post-4018623228341650572010-04-17T23:48:04.393-05:002010-04-17T23:48:04.393-05:00So very true.So very true.m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03651543686862897645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303387679097070903.post-51717194490234660532010-04-17T15:04:49.043-05:002010-04-17T15:04:49.043-05:00Being from NYC we don't have too many parking ...Being from NYC we don't have too many parking lots you speak of.

I hate busy parking lots most of all, trying to pay attention to people on foot, people in cars, shopping carts, security guys, etc. Ugh!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fourthgradenothing.com/" rel="nofollow">FourthGradeNothing.com</a>Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076912971009055017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303387679097070903.post-25367073478324481792010-04-17T10:21:28.656-05:002010-04-17T10:21:28.656-05:00I found your site through Bossy Betty's and I ...I found your site through Bossy Betty's and I just loved your blog!<br />I am now following you!<br />Hope you have a great weekend!<br />Betty<br />Plus:<br />You're absolutely right.<br />It's sad how some people cross the street anywhere, and makes me think that they don't even care if they get hit.Betty Manousoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08549686306725800208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303387679097070903.post-26422194806679865042010-04-16T14:52:16.808-05:002010-04-16T14:52:16.808-05:00I think pedestrians see it as a challenge, 'if...I think pedestrians see it as a challenge, 'if you hit me, I'll sue you.' So (they think) they don't care if they get hit, and/or they assume we're so afraid of hitting them that, even if we can't see them, we'll stop. In short, most people (pedestrian or not) are idiots.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843060336452856402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303387679097070903.post-27840133960683429402010-04-16T14:45:57.507-05:002010-04-16T14:45:57.507-05:00Brings to mind what my young son said a while back...Brings to mind what my young son said a while back.

Yep.
