Jaywalking-- Smart or Darwinism?

You know on Market Street how there's that left-hand turn lane if you want to go on Valencia? And you know how everyone likes to rush through when the light turns green to make sure they can get onto Valencia without having to wait through another cycle of traffic signals? We know what you're thinking everytime you make that turn-- hey, what an awesome place to jaywalk! Which is what some woman, latte in hand, did right in front of us as we tried to make that turn in rush hour.

How many ways does this piss us off? Like the fact if she just crossed Valencia Street, there's an actual crosswalk there. Or the fact that she still has to jaywalk Market Street even after jaywalking the lane, making it not a very smart place to jaywalk to begin with. Or just the sheer fact that she thought it was cool to jaywalk in the middle of incoming traffic.

Look, we jaywalk too. A lot. But we consider ourselves good jaywalkers. We don't mind jaywalkers who are smart, but we hate jaywalkers who are stupid-- they give jaywalking a bad name (bad name). See, us good jaywalkers know that there's two basic rules to jaywalking:

-Don't jaywalk in the middle of traffic
-If you're jaywalking with traffic headed your way, don't saunter across the street with a latte in your had and an attitude that there's nothing wrong with asking a bunch of cars to slow down just for you-- move your ass.

See, this way you don't piss off drivers. Not to mention get friggin hit by a car.

Anyways, to you, Jaywalking Lady, since we didn't do this while driving yesterday, we'll do this now:
