For instance, in second grade, Nelson invented a new way of crossing the street: when arriving at a busy thoroughfare, he would dramatically turn his back on traffic and step with theatrical nonchalance off the sidewalk. Drivers, frightened, would slam on their brakes. yes, exactly. but i'm not in second grade; i'm in my thirties. i've had enough maneuvers like this backfire on me that i've realized i cannot even trust people to slam on their brakes -- people as a whole, mind you, i can trust individuals significantly more. like the scene from men in back -- "a person is smart. people are stupid" |

i already try to run people over walking normally on the sidewalk, so the crosswalk is definitely not going to save you |

sir, it is no joke. i've run experiments. i'm like: the train leaves in ten minutes; with perfect timing i could be there in three. so, shit, i wonder if anyone will actually see me waiting, on the sidewalk, in front of a crosswalk, clearly looking to cross. the answer is: no, not really. traffic is fairly heavy; the train station is at the center of town. everyone is trying to get to work. i could stand there all fucking day and everyone would not only not stop -- but see me, and accelerate: like, shit, a pedestrian! this will delay me ten second! my life is in danger! floor it! i hope you run over pedestrians for a more noble goal, like racial profiling or entertainment |
