Dear Sir,
I was in the maroon hatchback, waiting to turn right on H from 18th this evening as you walked through the crosswalk, with the light, as pedestrians are permitted to do. Some jackass behind me honked, and you thought it was me. It was not. I know you waved at me as if to say, “Hey, jerk, I have the right of way.” And it’s true that you did, and I was respecting it. Had I honked at you, you would have had every right to give me a rude gesture or a nasty look, as I would have deserved it.
But it wasn’t me who honked. I think it was the RAV4 behind me, although I’m not sure what he was complaining about.
In any event, I apologize. The guy behind me was a jerk.
Sincerely, Complaint Hub
I seriously feel a little bad. I guess I shouldn’t. I didn’t do anything wrong. The guy I don’t know and will never see again, who’s probably already forgotten this happened, just thought I did. But I do try to be courteous to pedestrians, beyond simply yielding when they have the right of way. Except jaywalkers. Jaywalkers are on their own. I’m not saying don’t do it, because I certainly do. I’m just saying that you’re on your own.
