Driving Downtown! :(

I just thought I would post a little rant for today. 

 

I drive to work everyday from the West End to Elmwood.  Most of my routes take me through downtown, where invariably on every drive to or from work I run into the Malevolent Pedestrian.

 

This breed of pedestrian seems to think that they not only have the right of way, but some sort of God given right to loiter in the path of oncoming traffic.  Sometimes they are so bold as to give you a dirty look, just for patiently waiting for them to cross the road against the red light, or perhaps against the red hand; if they happen to be at a crosswalk at all.

 

It eludes me as to why people would behave this way, when the person one which they are projecting their rancor is just trying to have a nice drive to work.

 

I suppose this rant will find the wrong ears, because these people don't seem to have the brain power to obey the traffic signals, so they likely wouldn't be able to find the on button for their computer.

End.

    I was actually going to start a Winnipeg Bad Drivers blog as there is endless material to write about. I don't know if there is another city in the world who has such poor and incosiderate humans operating vehicles. The reason I was going to start one yesterday was because of the countless number of drivers that use the diamond lanes down St. Mary's and over the Norwood bridge. Where are the cops? You people don't think I'd love to zip free of traffic in my own personal lane every morning. Quit cutting me off to duck back in once you've clearly shown the rest of the cars on the road that you feel your time is more important than the rest of ours. I have a feeling this blog may get a few more reactions than just me. Great topic.
