Reminds of this guy last summer who was crossing 10th Street and wasn't even half-way across when my light went green so that he was not only still in front of my bumper, but had the lanes coming the other way about to run him over. So I just touch the horn to alert him "dude, you're gonna get run over if you don't wake up and LOOK at what's going on" and he starts screaming, "Mother***** don't honk your M**** horn at me!" Ya ok buddy, next time I'll just flash my lights to distract the other drivers so they don't see you and mangle you under their wheels while I laugh.

Oh man, that happened to me on 8th and 4th a few weeks ago. I was first in line at a red waiting to turn and the light turned green so just as I was pulling into the crosswalk this guy did a jog step to get in front of my bumper. So I hit the horn and he started squaking at me while standing in front of my truck with the light green. So I just gave him a shrug and "Vanna White" presented him the rest of the crosswald with a big grin. He slowly crossed the road while giving me the "come get some" motion with his arms and yapping the whole way across.
Now if I wasn't in my city truck it may have gone down differently but really there are some true Arseholes in this city. A few pointers to the white collar zombies that pollute downtown with their crappy "holier than thou" attitudes:
-"Don't walk" means exactly that
-Don't get pissed at me when you are trying to Jaywalk and my driving down the road screws you up
-Finally, GET OFF YOUR DAMN BLACKBERRY!! That penis enlargement e-mail can wait until you get back to the office, you don't need to reply to it while crossing a road.
EDIT: Wow, sorry... kind of got on a rant there. Didn't mean to de-rail your thread a little.
