(to those of you who know the reason I've already discussed, it isn't that reason - it's something new)

For a while now it seems there is a large amount of stupid drivers going to my highschool. Since it's been cooling down I've been walking to and from school, totalling up about an hour and a half each day. It really is a nice walk. Today I got out at the start of lunch. I was at the stop-light near our school, and, like always, when trying to cross the guys turning right from the lane left of me almost hit me.

In Tucson pedestrians are rare, which is probably why they don't expect me. This happens almost every time, so instead of shrugging it off as a "rare case' I'm going to start making a big deal out of it. I do exist, and if one person ever actually hits me I'm suing the -blam!- out of them. I might even get away with suing the school, as well. I'm going to write them a letter requesting they send out a memo to the entire student body, reminding them that people use the cross-walk, they have the right of way, and that it's very, very rude to hit them. If they don't send out the memo and I do get hit, I think I might be able to sue them as well for ignoring a dangerous problem.

I swear, it's rediculous. So many drivers don't see me. I stand out in the -blam!- open. Yet, every time when I'm crossing I'll have someone try to turn into the crosswalk just to see me at the last moment. I'll look to my left and see them cover up their mouth with their hand in surprise.

It's only a matter of time before a member of the "Future for America" hits me.

i read the title and thought "this might be interesting" i read who started the thread and knew at once that this thread was probably already locked. i then saw that it was not locked so i gave it a good read, and now i know that that was not only a mistake, but a waste of my time. furthermore, maybe you could sue people for billions of dollars if you spill hot coffee on yourself, or better yet, sue someone because you're a fatass (you in general). that one is sure to work.

P.S:if i hit you with my car, i would drive off before you had a chance to read my plates.

I know how you feel, jaywalking is like the only way to get across the street because no one slows down at the cross walk so you just run as fast as you can.

Jump up on their hood. You'd be surprised how expensive the weight and force of a person standing on the hood of an automobile for a short period of time can be to get fixed.

Hidden intersection cameras are great for busting pieces of -blam!- like you.

Intersections up where I live are all mounted with cameras.

To sue a person because they hit you with their car at no fault of your own isn't rediculous like the other examples you gave.

I don't know, I did all the time when I was a kid and it never left a mark. Aside from dirty shoes.

I'm around 170, and the car this time was an old muscle car with a flat and long hood (don't know which model, I didn't take much time to look at it). I think I would have dented it had I jumped up on it.

I'm under the understanding that if you can bend or jam the hood-latching mechanism that's a real costly fix.

I won't get killed by it, I think. I only cross when traffic going from left-to-right has a red, and the guys trying to turn don't have enough time to accelerate very fast.

At the very least you can carry a bat, and break the windshield.

Been drinking?

Anyway, I was carrying coffee with me at the time. I should have doused their car with it.

Dang man, just suck it up. If they havent hit you then theres nothing to worry about, and the school will most likely do nothing untill something happens. When drive by flip them off, there problem solved.

P.S- I hope you can defend yourself well if they want to fight. =P

Edit- Peck, I love that video of you playing Halo in your profile, awesome!

It would have gotten coffee on their car windshield. It's similar to "giving them the bird."

So far you haven't had one reasonably intelligent post in this thread.

Am I giving that impression? *sad*

Or, you can "spill it" on yourself in suprise, and sue both the car driver and the coffee vendor. Two birds with one stone!

I made the coffee myself.

But good idea - from now on I'll buy coffee from Starbucks.

#1) Capitalization, sentence spacing, and correct punctuation would help you out quite a bit.

#2) I fail to see your metaphor, is walking on a crosswalk not expected of people? Coffee is expected to be hot, therefore it is dumb to sue someone for hot coffee, But people are SUPPOSED to walk in a crosswalk - Therefore the fault is that of the driver, who should be paying attention at all times - If you can't pay attention to what you're doing, then you have no business behind the wheel, I lost a friend because of pricks like you and I hope you get into a wreck and die slowly, but not until someone sues the hell out of you and your family for raising you in that way. Then I volunteer to pull the plug. -blam!-.

#3) Can you say: Assault with a Motor Vehicle, Leaving the Scene of a Crime, Failure to Render Assistance (some states), Reckless Endangerment, Careless Driving, Reckless Driving, Flight, and Attempted Manslaughter? Choke and die.
