A Quick Monday Morning Vent

So, I was almost run over twice this morning walking to campus.

Alabama state law requires drivers to yield the right of way to pedestrians in crosswalks. As I walked across the MARKED crosswalk on Campus Drive West which CLEARLY states that it is the law to yield to pedestrians, an idiot girl in her car on her cell phone proceeds to nearly plow through me. I had already walked through half the crosswalk - she had plenty of time to see me, not to mention the huge clear yellow sign. But still, she nearly hit me at 30 mph. I then almost got hit by a truck while walking through the crosswalk in the parking lot.

I happened to see the woman who nearly hit me, and in a moment of frustration, as I passed by I said, "It's the law to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks." She told me to watch where I was walking and flipped me off.

Looks like today is going to be another I hate everyone but Lindsay day...
