Hello ladies and gents, it is such a nice day to do some bitching and today's subject is that of Utah walkers. Now many of you may be asking, well we know alot about how terrible Utah drivers can be but this may be news for us. I reasure all of you that this is not a joke or me just looking for something that doesnt exsist. I am here to say that in Utah, and only in Utah, have I witnessed that people dont only drive terribly, they walk terribly as well.
Just the other day I was coming home from a hard days work of studying and day dreaming about motorcycles. I had my ipod in stuck in both ears and was relishing the few precious moments I get detached from society. That was all interrupted by some jo-shmo who came up behind me like a she-lion attacking a helpless baby gazelle. If any of you have driven here you know this tactic and also you know that they often do it when there isnt another soul on the road, just you and the him. And sure enough, it was just that. Not another person in sight just us two.
Luckily the volume on my ipod was sufficiently turned down so I could here the approacher. I turned and looked and to my surprise he was not more than 6 inches behind me. He was talking on his cell phone. So, as I often do to Utah drivers, I hit my brakes. He crashed into my back. I turned, looked him in the eye and said, "what the hell are you doing?" In typical fashion he acted as he didnt hear and walked away. And to all those reading this post, this was not the only time this has happened to me.
At first this made me angry, but on the way home I realized just how fitting it was.
