I was walking home from the grocery store, and I was crossing the street. The little man in the box thing was saying "Hey, it's alright, cross this street!" and so I was. This lady in a silver SUV started to turn the corner, almost hit me while I'm wandering along, beeped at me, and then started yelling in her car. I couldn't hear what she was saying, but her hand gestures got the point across just fine.

I was shocked. I was walking when I was supposed to be, and she almost hit me, and then SHE got mad at ME!!!

Usually I smile, wave, give the peace sign, and continue on my merry way, but I reacted quickly and flipped her off. I felt bad about that, because she is clearly having a bad day, and although she did almost run me over, I'd rather she continued her day in a better mood knowing that I wasn't terribly upset about the situation.

This has been the 8th time in about three weeks that I've almost been hit by a car. Including the night my coworker drove me home in the snow, and almost crashed into a police vehicle. Luckally the cop just drove away after beeping, and he didn't flip us off.
