San Francisco is in the Top 10 cities with the meanest drivers and I’m hardly surprised. I just returned from purchasing myself lunch and spent 65% of my drive waiting for stupid, slow, perfectly mobile assholes to cross the road.
I was reminded of my brother, a shockingly patient and well-adjusted person who is angered by this offense and this offense only.
“I just need to see some effort. I just need to know that they’re aware of me waiting for them and that they’re moving faster because of it. I don’t need them to break into a sprint, although that would be nice. Just effort. Displayed effort.”
I simply roll my eyes, loudly exhale, honk, etc.
But I think Alex’s point is excellent. Pick up the goddamn pace, trophy wife. Otherwise, I’m pretty sure I’m under the legal limit and my foot might be about to slip…

OMG, i have this same argument with my lazy friend EVERYTIME we cross a street. It's just plain pedestrian courtesy to scurry along faster for the driver waiting for you. I get SO mad at him alwasy yelling "WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?" "CUZ I don't want to be an asshole like you!"
Yeah, I totally power-walk when I'm crossing the street.
And I cannot wait to read CB tomorrow!
OMG - Beth, I have extreme road rage and one winter I had the flu and I was trying to get from the doctor's to the pharmacy when the most terrible thing in the world happened. In my obviously sick state my Hyundai and I inadvertently drove into the the area of town where the High School and Junior High are a mere one block apart - and then it happened THE BELL RANG! School was out for the day. Here I am, in dire need of drugs, a heating pad, and the closest bathroom when I am surrounded by Satan children and Soccer moms who could use a serious crash course on how to get the fuck out of my way when I am trying to drive. Trying to escape I turned down a dead end street and became so enraged that when I pulled a 360 at the end of the road a sprayed a group of school children with gravel - did I mention it was raining? These people where everywhere - you think the elder are slow, they have nothin' on children and after school rides.
I don't make that mistake anymore. That's what you get for being polite, fuck the pedestrian right of way, my car is faster than their feet. I'll run over their Teva's and never look back.
