• sometimes pedestrians give way to me, I say thanks.
    more often I give way to peds, they say fuck all.
    occasionally someone steps out in front of me without looking, I avoid them, they say fuck all but I remind them to look before stepping out into the road.
    some mornings I wish the world would end.
    pure poetry! should send that to the daily mail

  • It works best if you use the Borat voice.
    "Haaaai Faiiiiiiive!!"

    I can't rep you (so perhaps someone else has) for this! Its funny that I haven't actually realised 'til now but I do actually do this bit too, a knee-jerk really.

    I really want this to spread and become normal. Like cold sores.

  • There's no shame...

    sham

    'fraid not Skully, but your approval (plus the fact that you actually do this too!) is worth more than any number of little green squares beside my name.

  • I think the law states something on the lines of giving them half a chance. like a few seconds head start. and providing you have given them a bit of warning you can take them out.

    Several important and clever acts or parliment have passed in recent years to relax these laws. one of these included the amount of warning given to a pedestrian on their ipod or phone. I believe (but don't quote me here) you have to give them some kind of verbal warning anytime before or up to 5 minutes after making direct head on contact with them.

  • You gotta plough into people, how else will they learn. If you really want to drive the message home, make spoke cards out of razor blades.

    Another fun one I've been working on is to cut close behind them. As you pass, lock out your knee on the ped side, grab one of their belt loops and with the upward momentum go for the atomic wedgie.

    Don't try this on single speed.

  • Not if you're American, the correct spelling over there is indeed "plow" if Archi is not American however, more than his head should be hung....imho.

    Hanged, unless you're talking about his cock.

    Nope, I'm not a septic.
    But I am currently working for my fourth American owned company (bringing them down from the inside). And unfortunately some of it rubs off from time to time.
    That's my excuse ;)

    Well hanged then?

Do you give way to pedestrians crossing the road that you're turning into?
