Brace yourselves gentle readers, there is bad news coming your way. I was nearly killed yesterday.
I foolishly used the crosswalk to cross the road, and although I had the walk signal, I clearly didn't have the right of way. A car came speeding around the curve and upon seeing me, applied his breaks with great force, causing them to squeal with protest, but not great enough to actually slow the car to any degree. I did what you're always supposed to do in this situation, I stopped and stared at the car thinking, "What is this idiot doing?"
Thankfully, I was with my roommate (my male roommate), who screamed and ran, causing me to follow suit. Well, I ran anyway, I didn't scream.
And then this guy, who was obviously in the wrong, gave us a dirty look for having the audacity to be crossing the road and sped away. It was my first brush with danger since I moved to The City.
