Ok... I've always known that, but after shaking for about one hour in anger, I've noticed that I need better methods to cope with stupid people.


So, the lastest contact with the stupid:

I was walking home from work. There is a very strong blizzard with winds up to 80-100 KPH, and their was a small and quite painful hail.

So eventually I reach a 4-way stop intersection. There are about 5 cars each way, so I let them all pass, despite those intersections being on a first come first serve basis. (I should have passed after the 2nd car, but God forbid having the idea of letting a pedestrian in the blizzard get his turn when you are hasty to go back home in your heated car, well protected from the wind and hail.)

So, THE ONE comes. After those 5 car, an obviously late car gets there after I actually started crossing the frozen intersection. Then that car decides to not only not really stop, but decides to accelerate and horn to make me run in the blizzard, followed by a gesture to me.

I mean you are in the heat of your car!!!!! You don't get the skin of your face teared by all that hail!!! You actually were SEVENTH in line and I was the SECOND, and you STILL don't want to let me pass even considering that you got to the stop AFTER I started crossing! Did you know that the thing under me was actually ICE, and so if I didn't have enough crip I'd have fallen under your car!!!

I am still shaking in anger after more than an hour after that. I even called the police to know if it was possible to post a complain if I could get their plate number (I could barely see the car at all, so it was really just to know).
Sadly, you cannot file a complain because:
1- Police handles crimes, not stupidy. You have to proove there was a criminal intent.
2- From number 1: You have to proove the event. If the car didn't actually hit you, you got no proof.

At least my conversation with the police was fun and we all let off the pressure talking how drivers can be immensely stupid. I mean some drivers even use their car as a weapon versus pedestrian, like accelerating when you see a pedestrian so they run to the other side of the street. If he trips and fall, you possibly got a death on your hands.
