Default A stupid person.....

Heading back to work after lunch. I'm in the right lane of three lanes of traffic, approaching a red light. Slowing down for the red light, no one in front of me.

Traffic in the two lanes to my left is stopped. As I approach the intersection this STUPID person, comes out from between the stopped vehicles and crosses in front of my car.

Thankfully, I was slowing down as I was approaching the red light, and had time to stop. WHY did this person, who by the way, was leading a child of about four years old, with her, think it was OK to cross in between cars instead of going to the corner where there is a crosswalk and a traffic light???

Nice way to teach a child how to cross a street.

When we were growing up, my parents, Dad especially, did not allow us to call people stupid. I think even he would have made an exception for this person today.

I am sorry to inform that you are a failure to society Lainey.
you had an obligation to uphold the Darwinian selection process and you failed to do so.
So not only did you not remove the threat to society but you allowed the successful transfer of behavior to the next generation.

it's kinda funny how they cross like that and stare you down at a snail's pace.

I agree. It's not like you were in the S, you're driving a Jeep, right? heck, that would have been nothing more than a speed bump.
