Moron ~ Stop Walking in the Middle of the Road!

Seattle is in a deep freeze. Probably most of the country is laughing at us. Boo hoo eight inches of snow. What people fail to realize is that if Seattle sees an inch, it is a miracle. Eight is pretty freaky. Also, we do not have a ton of snow plows, we have huge hills that are hard to plow, and because we rarely see snow, the city pretty much shuts down.

And today… Sunday… it is now snowing hard again. We have had enough snow to last for many many years. Ug.

But the main post today is about Idiots. Walking Idiots.

Since the snow fall last week, I have seen this phenomenon where people will just walk in the middle of the road. With ice and snow and everything. They will not move for cars driving in the road. What the fuck!!??

I had to move my car the other day (72 hour rule in Seattle and my apartment only has 10 spots ~none for me). I had to honk at the person to stop walking in the middle of the road. He glared at me. Just walking back from half price books there was this lady walking in the middle of the road. And my examples could go on and on from this week. These people were not crossing the street, but just walking down the middle.

That is cause for potential disaster. Just because we have several inches of snow does not somehow mean you should walk in the middle of the road. This makes no sense. Am I missing something?

It is hard enough to drive in Seattle with compact snow and ice. Do the car drivers a favor pedestrians. Keep walking on the sidewalks. Otherwise do not whine if I run you over!
