A lady almost struck me with her vehicle today as I was crossing the street on campus.

I was walking to class and the lady did not seem to understand that she was at a four-way stop and pedestrians — especially on campus — have the right of way. She accelerated forward as I was about to pass in front of her, and I’m pretty sure the only thing that stopped her from completely running me over was when I slammed my hands on the hood of her truck. She then looked at me and mouthed “I didn’t see you.” I kept walking and looked back to see that she had proceeded to almost hit a cyclist and another pedestrian.

All I could think about after that was: “I’m a 6’2”, well-dressed handsome devil. EVERYONE sees me, lady. Everyone.”
