I was crossing a road (there’s no zebra crossing there, otherwise I would use that), I waited until there was pretty much no car before I started to walk across the road. But this car that was far away didn’t slow down, and it kept honking me, I was already running as fast as I could. After I walked past the road, the car stopped, the driver got out of the car and started to chase me down the street! She was screaming “Don’t you fucking walk in front of me! I have kids in the car!” She also screamed at a passerby “She was fucking jaywalking!”. It was very scary.
I used to live in cities, we walk past roads like that. Is that driver just having a bad day or something? My dad thinks it was probably racism (Asian living in a town that’s 95% white). I seriously don’t know how to walk past a road now. Can someone please give me some advice on how to walk past a road without getting chased down the street? I really apprentice it.
If there’s no car coming and you are running as fast as you can while they honk, how wide is this road? :). Regardless of the answer, some ppl are just nuts. Forget all about it and move on. Sounds like you didn’t do anything so odd as to merit that response.
