So I’m driving the last train into the city tonight, it’s about 11:30 and the first level crossing I come to, quick scan. Lights and booms operating, cars stopped, all clear and then out of the darkness a guy comes running up to the pedestrian crossing and hops over the closed gate.
Slam on the brakes and sound the horn.
Guy stops dead, turns to his mate that had run up behind him and starts laughing.
In the rearview mirror I see them both laughing after the guy had hopped back over the closed gate.
Idiots. Glad for your sake their retarded stunt didn’t end with a train painted blood, but part of me wishes Darwin would prevail and we could “thin out the herd” a little.
The wanker probably shat himself and had to act tough to his mate. I bet he lay on the floor when he got home and cried his eyes out. People are so stupid, i would say he deserved to be hit but i wouldn’t want you, the driver, to feel bad about it[:)]
Two months ago, I got nailed in the crosswalk walking home from work. My ACL’s all kinds of beat-up and I’ve been out of work and losing my mind doing nothing but PT and getting REALLY good at video games.
I follow all traffic and pedestrian rules to the friggin’ T, yet I see kids and even grown ass people do stupid things in traffic, in railroad crossings, etc. all the time and get nothing, be it physical harm, arrests/tickets, or even a middle finger thrown their way.
Stuff like this makes me mad, because getting hit my cars fucking sucks and I don’t recommend it to anyone.
