Heh.
Speaking of pedestrian safety (or not) ... Walk San Francisco is having a party/fund raiser tomorrow .... www.walksf.org/s2s
Hope to see you there!
That is why god invented keys
Hey, thats probably the guy that a few years back gunned his engine while running a red light and nearly ran me down while crossing the street on Market St.
Why mask the license plate? C'mon, someone who displays such a bumpersticker surely has the courage of their opinon and won't mind his plate to be public.
one word: douchebag
btw: you can make out the license plate from the reflection on the bumper - tee hee!
Thanks for the Tip..... one word " Paintballs "
Replace "pedestrians" with "cyclists" and this bumper sticker would be worthwhile.
I always wanted a bumper sticker that said "ONE LESS BIKE" - but I'd never put it on my car. The crazy bike-people have no sense of humor.
Ha! And no, I don't drive or own a car. And since Muni's a mess, I'm pretty much always a pedestrian. Face it, we've got a few too many entitled idiot pedestrians in this town. In fact, I was in a taxi the other day when some idiot frat boy tried crossing against the light--and there was quite a bit of traffic. My cab driver stopped at the last second and honked his horn pretty much in the guy's face. Shocked the living hell out of the frat boy--his expression was priceless. As the cabbie put it, "I haven't done my job unless I've made them shit themselves."
Being pro-education (even of the tough-love kind), I gave him a good tip.
Isn't this why so many families, yuppies etc have two cars?
Each time there is a direct hit and the hood gets dented, you use the other car during repairs?
@Mamcart:
I did something similar on my motorcycle. Years ago, crossing Fillmore on Pine (the oh-so-nicely timed street). Had this simp crossing the street. Not sure if he was a yuppie or of the more-funky-than-you-but-still-mainstream, but in any case, he was doing a pretty good job of looking cool while he lethargically crossed against traffic and without a noticeable headcheck towards oncoming traffic.
Men also have menstrual cycles and I was on the rag, so I passed within probably 18 inches of the guy (on the back side) and then punitively honked my dual 118 db horns on my motorcycle.
Look on his face: priceless.
Stain on his pants: potentially multicolored (at least yellow and maybe brown).

I agree sometimes pedestrians fail to watch where they're going.
I also had a yuppie walk out into traffic from behind a parked car and came within about six inches of actually walking into my scooter as I drove past. I mean, it's a scooter, but it's a big heavy old one and I'm sure it would have hurt if I'd hit him.
But since I also occasionally do inexplicably stupid things without thinking, I can't bust his chops too much.
But this dude's car is begging to be keyed.
I used to carry around a frozen bottle of water in a canvas sack to hit cars that cut me off in crosswalks when I had the right away. But now that everyone is crazy and I don't want to be shot, I stopped thwackin' cars.
But if I saw this vehicle parked somewhere I might go back to my old tricks and thwack it for old time sake. Then again, meh, probably the reaction this driver is looking for.
I hate bumperstickers. They are ineffectual and nearly always ridiculous.
And by ridiculous I mean lame.
How do you know this bumper sticker refers to running over pedestrians? It could refer to pulling up alongside them and asking them out for a romantic evening.
I use an extremely heavy handled umbrella. And since luckily, the only cars I've ever had to use it on have been BMWs driven by cell phone yammering bimbos, I haven't been too worried about them kicking my ass.
(OK, there was that one guy in that huge Ford pickup, but he didn't look the type to kick a small angry female's ass, particularly since he had clearly almost run her over).
that is awesome! put it on the n-judah!
HAHA
@suckafree: Agreed!!
Based on the scratches on the guys bumper, perhaps the thing should say "so many tiny parking spaces, so little time."
