Lady Dibella Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 So... sidewalks... you know, those pale strips of cement located to the side of the road? These things are most commonly found in cities and neighborhoods.... Apparently the buffoons in my neighborhood think that they are there for decoration and not usage. When its a single person using the siding of the road its not horrible, but my biggest pet peeve is parents. That's right, I said parents. Because, it would seem, pushing your baby's stroller in the road is much safer than using the sidewalk not but a foot away... And I'm talking about strollers built to hold triplets as well, those big wide ones that could fit on a sidewalk and shouldn't be in the middle of the damned road. I have even made a point of gesturing to the sidewalk as I drive past people, telling them to use it. (Not a rude gesture, merely one suggesting that they move over). Does anyone else have morons around that don't know what a sidewalk is for?
Snips1366 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 lool I've never heard ant thing like that xDD maybe they are retarded :D in my town we have drivers like that,but not WALKERS . :D
Serithi Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I'm not saying i advocate running over people who do that, but i am saying i'm a firm believer in Darwinism.
Veladarius Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I see the same thing in my neighborhood, worst was someone wearing all black walking in the middle of the street at night. I came close to having a new hood ornament.
marxman1313 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Our sidewalks are in disrepair and incomplete to were its almost nonexistent outside a rich area/naboirhood and I live in fucking Houston not to mention the neighborhood right across the steet from mine has sidewalks with not so much as a crack on em while ours are so uneven and full of cracks it makes my back hurt to walk on em for 10 minutes I see the same thing in my neighborhood, worst was someone wearing all black walking in the middle of the street at night. I came close to having a new hood ornament. Well atleast he would have been dressed properly to attend his own funeral
AKM Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I see the same thing in my neighborhood, worst was someone wearing all black walking in the middle of the street at night. I came close to having a new hood ornament. Had a guy killed doing that here. As usual, the media instantly latched onto "shall they be prosecuted for hitting him?" Fortunately, uncommon sense won out and the driver who hit and killed a black guy wearing black, walking down the middle of the road on a dark night without a light, was not charged.
Serithi Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 In my neighborhood, there's only two options as a pedestrian: either walk on a road with sidewalks (with steep hills throughout), or a busy road that's more level with no sidewalks at all. Which would you choose? And during the winter months after a snow and ice storm, the road crews in my area always ignore the sidewalks. I think that would make it more plausible to walk in the street. How do you expect people to walk on this, especially during long distances? -snip- Ever heard of common sense? There's a difference between a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation like you've described, and a "THERE IS A PERFECTLY GOOD SIDEWALK OVER THERE GET THE FUCK OFF THE ROAD" situation that the thread's about.
Veladarius Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 If it was a matter of not having a good or clear sidewalk I would understand but my neighborhood has good sidewalks on both sides of the street but even if you were going to walk in the street you don't walk down the middle of it.
striderskunk Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I have more of an issue in my town with people crossing a busy highway.
