Pedestrian Crossing

As a person who used to live in downtown Boston, I've spent a lot of time walking, crossing streets, and taking public transportation. Now, I've moved to the suburbs, and I drive a lot more. Yet, driving or walking, we've all met the oblivious pedestrian. The oblivious pedestrian can take on many roles in the street.

The first is the pedestrian that comes to mind in the pedestrian that doesn't look both ways before crossing. They just keep walking.

This man did it in Hanoi, which doesn't seem like the best idea, but his obliviousness served him well.

 

Then is the every popular man on the cell phone. The person that is ties their shoe in the middle of the street. The couple making out in the middle of the road for no good reason. The person who j-walks in an area without a cross walk, and surprises a driver with the, "Hi. I'm crossing now and thought it was a a good idea just to come in the street without any kind of warning, and proceed to walk at a snails pace." Then lastly, we can not forget, the pedestrian that walks around in the pitch black wearing all black. Bravo, pedestrian, bravo!

The video below details almost all of the oblivious pedestrians that can be imagines, with the exception of the elusive night walker. 

 

You tell me. What do you think these drivers are thinking? 

Don't fret. There will always be those that will continue being oblivious pedestrians and someday they will meet the oblivious driver = implosion.
