You're some kind of stooopid!!!

Ya, I was driving past our middle school here in town when classes just got out. The normal flashing yellow and 20mph. Three kids just step right out on the road without looking at all. I mean they didn’t even hesitate, they weren’t even at the designated crosswalks. Fortunately I was expecting such stupidity and was under 20mph and a foot covering the brake pedal. I was totally surprised though they weren’t on they phones they was engaged in conversation so that is a plus.

that's why the speed limit is such//////

In california? You betcha! They think that cause the law gave them the rightaway, they can do what they please, and walk as slowly as they want.
Over a thousand pedestrians are killed in california each year, about 15% of the nation-wide total.

Thinning of the herd…

...now they just attempt to stare you down as they slow or even stop for no reason other than to inconvenience you as much as possible.

Every time someone does that to me (slows in a crosswalk) I get flashes from "Death Race 2000".

Yup... On those occasions when Im walking & hit a crosswalk and traffic actually stops for me I put some hustle into crossing the road... Cause that's how I've always done it.... Yet people 20% of my age can't/won't do the same... We are doomed...

That **** pisses me off.
I hate to think that people are waiting on me. Those that give a courtesy should not end up regretting doing a nice gesture for others.
The slow walking habit isn't limited to people over 40. Someone is not inspiring the kids to pick up the step.
