Rolling along today, around noonish, I turn off of SB Crowchild onto WB 16th and am plotting a SB turn on 29th. As I'm passing a cyclist, I notice that her cell phone (or something electronic) fell out of her backpack and was thus lost to her.
I decided to pull over and alert her to her misfortune, so I pulled off of the road and jumped out of the truck and tried to flag her down as she approached.
I'm standing on the side of 16th, my truck up in the snow on the side, trucks are passing and spraying dirty road water everywhere, and I'm practically in her way waving my arm because she's ignoring me as she approaches...
She's passing me even though my arm is practically decapitating her, and because she's wearing headphones, I yell "YOU DROPPED YOUR CELL PHONE!!!".
She immediately stops and turns around (passes me) and starts backtracking to find her phone. Doesn't even nod at me.

Now, I can't even to begin to figure out why a person would proceed past another person pulled over on the side of the road. Perhaps she thought that I was broken down and I (god forbid) needed her to make a phone call. Or maybe the beast thought that I was trying to hit on her. Either way, the next time Rosie O'Donnell drops her goddamn phone or ham sandwich or whatever the hell it was, I'm not pulling over to tell her.
