yield!!!!
my policy with right of way on the roads is this:
"everyone yields to meisa. if meisa is driving, pedestrians wait. if meisa is walking, drivers wait."
this policy is perfect because, in case you all didn't know, the world revolves around me. :)
i came across another man today who seemed to think the world revolved around him. he started crossing the street at a quasi crosswalk (not striped at a street corner, but in the middle of the street with just two lines on each side). in my opinion, the driver in this situation has right of way (unless i'm crossing) but this man disagreed. he began crossing and the driver of a red sedan ignored him and kept going. the man (who by the way had one khaki pant leg much shorter than the other) became irate and started screaming "yield, yield, YIELD!!!!!!!!!!!" while chasing the car and throwing his chapstick at it.
who knew chapstick would ever be used as a weapon?

I'm both that kind of driver and that kind of pedestrian. I, however, have yet to weild my chapstick in defense of my right to run across the road when it is clearly not my turn.. ha!
