Yesterday I head to lunch. Since I typically walk to work, it was a rarity to be driving around anyway. Place I wanted to go was out of what I really wanted, so I decided to go to Subway, at least that would be healthy (veggie, no cheese, wheat bread, etc.). As I come up on a major intersection (seven lanes wide including a turn lane) I see a guy jaywalking across the oncoming lanes. There is a big median, so I figured he was heading there to wait; besides, there was no way he was going to be to my side before I was well through the intersection. Then, as I got to the intersection, a complete DOUCHE starts jaywalking quickly across the *other* side (towards guy #1). He's really lucky I have ABS, though part of me was sorry I didn't help him complete his suicide wish. To his credit, once he saw me he started sprinting, so he cleared the lane and I was able to proceed without coming to a complete halt in the middle of the intersection. Side benefit: I got a cardiac stress test without having to visit the doctor...

To top it off, the subway parking lot was completely full, also no street parking within a half-mile, so I ended up heading back to work without lunch.
