Vindicated!

Long-time readers and personal friends living in Chicago might remember that once upon a time in Edgewater, when the traffic was annoyingly in my way, I walked on the front end of a car to cross the street

I was feeling especially fierce that day, for whatever reason, and some car was waiting for the light to change right IN the crosswalk. And having the right-of-way as dictated by the little white "WALK" sign, I thought outside of the box (pun intended, New Yorkers) and crossed the street.

Sure, the driver of the car cursed me out, but sticks and stones, you know? Yet I remember that when I told this story, people reacted like I'd just told them that I'd eaten a kitten.

Well, imagine my surprise when I saw this article right here about someone getting arrested for doing the exact same thing.

Of course this didn't happen in Chicago, but in Greece. But who knew they had laws in Greece? Anyhow, the point of this blog has nothing to do with Greeks. It has to do with the universality of anger, traffic, and walking on cars. They do it in Chicago, and in BFE Athens.

It may be illegal, but hey, it's a natural human response!
