I am impressed! I didn't think you had the multiple-honking, one-finger saluting thing in you! I can only imagine the elegance with which you did it though. Certainly the oblivious stuper deserved it. Do you think he had the slightest clue he was interfering with the lives of others, or that the honks were for him? Wow! I am impressed!

Certainly the oblivious stuper deserved it. Do you think he had the slightest clue he was interfering with the lives of others, or that the honks were for him?

Oma: So true - recognition isn't in the stuper gene pool. Sergio: They aren't thinking; that's the problem. Paul Wynn: The Karate Kid was one of my fav films. I'm glad it was so useful for you! Elaine: Well, he was from that part of the world where skygazing while licking an ice cream cone and crawling in the cross walk are part of everyday life. Jenny: I reluctantly use the horn, as I have made my own stuper errors while driving, so I like to give the motorist a second chance. I only use the horn when it reaches the point where strangling isn't an option. Steve: You are absolutely right. They do have the right of way and patience is an underrated virtue. However, when a ped pulls out a chair in the crosswalk, oblivious to the cars around him for a period of twenty seconds or more, and is not handicapped or impaired from moving forward, he must actually think about exercising his right of way by walking forward in the crosswalk and not stopping to lick his ice cream cone.

What motorist often forget is PEDESTRIANS HAVE RIGHT OF WAY, AT ALL TIMES. So when we get a chance, such as legally using a pedestrian crossing, we exercise that right. It motorist in general were not convinced that getting where thay are going 5 seconds earlier, was so damned important, then maybe we woulbn't be so bloody-minded about acting as we a legally entitled. Think about that. I am on the so-called stupers side. What motorist often forget is PEDESTRIANS HAVE RIGHT OF WAY, AT ALL TIMES.

You should have saluted him few times. Sometimes they don't get it. I feel like pushing them very "gently" with my car. What are they thinking? Good for you. You should have saluted him few times.
Sometimes they don’t get it. I feel like pushing them very “gently” with my car. What are they thinking?

He is thinking "what is her problem?" It couldn't be his fault, recognizing his own flaw is above his level of thinking. Oh he’s thinking.

He is thinking “what is her problem?”

It couldn’t be his fault, recognizing his own flaw is above his level of thinking.
