It is the middle of summer. I am unable to drive. I have to walk or take a bus everywhere. It is miserable. WHY ON EARTH would you think this is an opportune time to honk at me and make cat calls. And really, when we get down to the very core of the problem, why is ANY time appropriate for this. Girls can't hear what you're saying- it comes out as imperceptible shrill garbage. There's no way that it can advance any farther- you're in a car. Really, honking and cat calls from cars only serve to PISS A LADY OFF. And, I can even make exceptions for "wow, that young gentleman thinks I am attractive, how nice." But like I said, I am hot and miserable. I do not even have the energy to flick you off if I want to.
Pedestrian complaint# 2? Yes, you drive a car. Yes, you've never had to walk 3 feet in your life. However, just because you don't understand crossing signals does NOT mean I am going to forfeit- my right to walk- in a crosswalk, WITH a signal. Just because you're ignorant, does not mean you can yell at me from your daddy-paid-for-it bmw you stupid bitch. (Shouldn't the fact that these girls are in college mean they're not as dumb as they apparently are?)
And lastly, thank you very, very kindly for offering me a ride, stranger. I know you mean well, and I know that you're being nice, but really? think about it. Think about how bad a suggestion that is. I have no idea who you are, I am not getting in your car. How the hell do I know I'm not going to end up in the boondocks where you'll keep me for 7 years next to your collection of stuffed dogs dressed as ballerinas? You have no idea who I am. Think twice about offering sex offender-axe murderer-unibomber in your car. duh.
