<p>Oh, my dad didn't want me to take a job I was offered because it involved delivering pizza at NIGHT! GASP!</p>
<p>Meanwhile, when my dad was my age...all the jobs he had involved interacting with complete strangers even later at night. Like transferring people to and from the airport and...</p>
<p>It's such a small place though...I'm pretty sure it's only people from the suburb I live in that order from there. And we only have one murder every 50 years, and the last one was 5 years ago...I'm safe for the next 45 years.</p>
<p>I've jaywalked across six lanes of traffic before. Once you have the technique, it's not hard. It also gives a nice adrenaline rush. It's really easy to cross streets if there are sidewalks and crosswalk signs. It's a lot harder if there are no sidewalks, and you have to watch the stoplights. A lot of intersections are like that where I live, because it's a rural area, and every family has 3 or 4 cars, and nobody walks anywhere.</p>
<p>^ i had to jaywalk because one of the crosswalk signs wasn't working. i thought it was just taking a long time, but this chinese couple jaywalked so i tagged along. then i jaywalked BACK to the library alone, and you're right, it's not that hard..most cars would wait for you</p>
<p>My mom was the worst when I got my first girlfriend. (Some of her concern was more than justified ;)) She watched us like a hawk and hated when we even went to the movies alone <em>gasp</em>. I eventually became a pretty good liar, so I didn't have to worry. I'm 17 now and don't really have a curfew (I think).</p>
<p>She is now doing the same thing to my brother, but now she is smothering him worse than she did with me.</p>
<p>Grrr my parents let my brother drive anywhere anytime but won't even let me bike to work, which is only about 3 miles away...</p>
<p>It's annoying because I have so much more control on a bike than driving. I feel much safer, I don't ruin the environment, and I do some exercise.</p>
