At lunch today, I was talking to a lady from the office about the crazy people on the sidewalks here in the city. She explained her theory: the people that suck at walking on the sidewalks have probably never driven a car in their entire lives. I think I agree.
Why? Because if these people had ever driven, they would understand that you always stay on the right-hand side of the street, or sidewalk in this case. They would also know that you never STOP randomly in the middle of the walkway. Seriously – do they know who’s behind them? If they were driving a Kia, would they just slam on the brakes, while going 60mph, right in front of a Mack truck? No? So why the heck do the tiny, 80 lb ladies stop right in front of me while in full-stride? Someone’s gonna get run over one of these times…
