(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.
good idea, and it might work if you don't get killed.
