Jaywalking

3673296137_4a3c07500d.jpg

What is it? Who does it? How much does ISIS support Jaywalking?

If you think you have been exposed to jaywalking, talk to your doctor.

Symptoms may include:
*Getting hit by a car
*Scaring drivers
*Getting to your destination faster
*Sunshine and rainbows
*Ranting on internet forums
*Jay Leno

If you think you may have contracted Jaywalking, please confine yourself to your home and wait for the authorities to arrive.

    One time I jaywalked right in front of a cop.

    She gave me a dirty look, but let me go.

    Police can't keep me down!

    Pretty much as white as possible without the word 'alabaster' being tossed around.

    Any campus at all.

    I don't even mind the jaywalking, but at least look up from your phone to register whether you're possibly about to die or not, you shitchickens.

    An old friend of mine once thought jaywalking was limited to crossing at a marked intersection but then turning to go right or left before making it to the sidewalk, because it's a j-shaped path that strays beyond the crosswalk lines. He would flat out refuse to leave the confines of a crosswalk if he'd started out in one, but he also jaywalked in random places all the goddamn time.

    Larlar... This is a safe space. It's OK to admit that it was you.

  • OmnipotentBagelOmnipotentBagel floof Registered User regular
    Larlar... This is a safe space. It's OK to admit that it was you.

    Um, the whole thing with jaywalking is that it's not a safe space. That's why there are laws against it.

    Being in Vietnam is fun, because there are basically no crossings, and scooters are coming at you all the time, and the only way to cross the road is to calmly look them all in the face, then walk steadily across the road so that they can all see you and react to you. If you try going fast, or try to dodge them, then that's when you get hit.

    It's the same with those birds that sit in the middle of the road and then wait until the last second to fly out of the way. I tried avoiding one the other day, uh, then I felt guilty.

    What is the consensus on jaywalking if you hit the fucking button to walk across the street and it went two red/green cycles at the intersection without showing you the little blue walking man? Okay to jaywalk or just break out a sleeping bag and a cup?

  • GvzbgulGvzbgul Registered User regular
    If you press the button and don't wait for the cross light to change (or don't wait until someone else is waiting for the light to change) then you are the devil.

    I wouldn't make a moral judgment against someone for crossing if the pedestrian light isn't working, but I can't bring myself to do it. I've walked two or three blocks out of my way on occasion to find a working crosswalk light. But I also keep the city maintenance number in my phone and call in with the locations of all the broken ones, so the quest to find a working crosswalk becomes at least somewhat productive.

    I've also been struck in the crosswalk by a driver who was edging forwards to make a turn and only paying attention to vehicle traffic from the other direction. I dashed my umbrella across his hood and scratched a huge gouge in the paint, while screaming something incomprehensible, and he was so spooked that he backed up and then swerved forward onto the sidewalk to get around me and away from there as fast as possible.

    Unsurprisingly, it's a college town. And all the worst driving bullshit that I witness always happens when the school's football team is playing, because these dickwizards can't figure out how to watch the road and listen to the game on the radio at the same time.

    Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

    I mean, every place has at least one bike lane

    It's called the same lane that everyone else uses

    Larlar... This is a safe space. It's OK to admit that it was you.

    I can't take the credit for that mental lapse. But if you want some dirt I can tell you the first Jean-Claude Van Damme movie I ever saw was Double Impact, which made me think Jean Claude and Van Damme were two distinct people who looked alike, so I asked my parents why they had different last names if they were really twin brothers.

    Even though the movie explained it? Man, you weren't even paying attention!
