Even without an (obvious) disability, I don't appreciate strangers' input on what action I should take. I never go when somebody waves me on in traffic -- the on-waver never considers oncoming traffic approaching from other lanes, or just anything besides him or herself. I hope the visually impaired man said something curmudgeonly to the passer by who suggested he step out in front of a beeping car.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146995971143565242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063129111950213809.post-55364494074934585522008-09-09T18:26:00.000-04:002008-09-09T18:26:00.000-04:00Not blind (don't tell anyone) but once while cross...Not blind (don't tell anyone) but once while crossing Quarrier Street a woman waved me along. i waved her off and she gave me the finger.

This one wasn't the beeping type, but I know what you mean.<BR/><BR/>The multi-level miscommunication was just too bad, since everyone had the right intentions. That being said, I wouldn't usually try to interfere with a handicapped person's independence, either.<BR/><BR/>So it's a young dog? Why are young dogs so...so...uninvolved these days? (I'm sorry...I really just can't let go of that joke. The dog has become my straight "man.")Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957116887646377052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063129111950213809.post-86031462934719736412008-09-08T20:31:00.000-04:002008-09-08T20:31:00.000-04:00That man works in my building.

I am sure he heard that there were no cars coming - but seriously, what the f*@k is the point of the beeping crosswalk? It is to alert crossers when they can cross. <BR/><BR/>Why toil with that? Why try to mess up the delicate balance of ped-x-ing and driving?Blog in the Ointmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372253334764938979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063129111950213809.post-56918754850938238532008-09-08T14:54:00.000-04:002008-09-08T14:54:00.000-04:00Good question, Dan.
