Speeding Asshead

I work downtown, so everyday I take the lightrail train into work. I park across the street from the station in the "dirt" parking lot to avoid driving around like a maniac looking for an open space in the regular parking lot. There are designated crosswalks to the station from the dirt parking lot. Also, there are signs posted at these crosswalks stating it is STATE LAW THAT ALL CARS MUST YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS. Obviously, not everyone reads these signs. 

Two weeks ago (a Friday because I was happy as I was going out boozing that night), I was crossing the above-mentioned crosswalk. Now mind you, I always, ALWAYS pay attention to the cars coming towards me to make sure they stop for me. Both lanes of traffic are stopped and I'm crossing, I then stop to see if anyone is coming down the turning lane.... out of NOWHERE a red Chevy Silverado truck comes flying around all the stopped cars, driving through the turning lane, and past me, CLIPPING MY PURSE. I stood there for 20 seconds catching my breath and wondering if I needed to go home to change my underwear. 

Back to today, doing my thing, getting ready to cross the same street, same time, watching out for cars. The SAME RED TRUCK comes hauling ass down the street, swerves around a car that is slowing down for the crosswalk, HONKS AT THE TURNING CAR, then continues hauling ass down the street. Luckily, I wasn't in the street yet, so I watched where this douchebag was going in such a hurry. Low and behold, he pulled into the lightrail parking lot. I watched him. I prepared myself. I waited for him.

He was short, fat, dirty. He was carrying a cooler and a Wal-mart bag. I asked him in my little girl voice, "Excuse me sir, do you drive a red truck?" (FYI, I have one of the sweetest voices around, I've been told this numerous times.)

"One of them, why?" Ahhhh, yes, he IS a dick.

I then laid into him. "BECAUSE YOU ALMOST RAN ME OVER TWO WEEKS AGO IN THE CROSSWALK YOU ASSHOLE! YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN IN THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AREA!"

"I did slow down!" he said as he is walking away from me as quickly as he can, his pants creeping up his butt. I continue to follow him.

"NO YOU DID NOT AND YOU ALMOST HIT ME. I AM GOING TO REPORT YOU TO RTD AND THE POLICE. YOU NEED TO SLOW THE FUCK DOWN ASSHOLE!!!"

"Do what you need to do!" he says over his shoulder as he's jumping on the train.


So I did what I needed to do: I took pictures of his truck and license plate and reported him to the Sheriff's office. I am currently waiting for a call back. Lesson: don't fuck with my friends, my family, and do not fuck with me!
