This is another reason why my cat Sully has not ever been allowed in my bedroom; give them an inch, they’ll take ten miles.
There FTFY
That too.
There’s a crosswalk (Britishism: zebra crossing) in front of the building where I work. Several times a week I’ll stand on the sidewalk patiently waiting for traffic to pass by and someone will come to a screeching halt right in front of me and give me that condescending little wave, oblivious to the two other lanes of high speed traffic whizzing by.
Alternatively someone will step right off the sidewalk and march defiantly across the street glaring at the cars that technically had the right of way but have been forced to stop.
TL;DR: what really grinds my gears is when someone pops into a comment thread and starts the old cars-versus-pedestrians argument and it’s only a matter of time before bicyclists get into it.
Is this better?
(Britishism) pavement.

Mayhap you have.
After posting this, I’ve realized that I’m far more annoyed by people and their irksome behavior than I am by actual “things.”
Ok – I can take a hint!
*lolz
No ‘hint’ intended.
Ok for real … it’s when people say “There’s no such thing as a stupid question.” Go teach as an adjunct somewhere. You’ll see.
Surely once their foot is in the zebra these pedestrians do have the right of way.
How about we don’t derail this post into yet another pointless discussion of pedestrian v. drivers, hmmm?
Thanks.

You mean derail the thread? Because the post to which I replied was certainly about pedestrians and drivers.
For that matter, the thread’s title suggests it is primarily automotive in nature.

It’s not.
And thanks for the pedantry; but please abide.
