(47,215 posts)1. WTH is wrong with people?
I've seen increasingly aggressive drivers over the past year. Speeding, running lights, don't care about pedestrians on crosswalks. My neighborhood had a car crash into a building after running over a lot of sidewalk and some fenced in garden area. It's dangerous out there.
I have walked by the OP intersection many times. I guess I'll stick to the gym for cardio. Damn.

or something like that. I don't remember it being this bad before.
