The other day I was walking to work and I basically cut off a whole load of cars at a traffic light by accident.
I hit the crosswalk button and waited, and I guess I thought I heard it make the beeping noise, I stupidly didn’t check the light because I assumed it was my turn to go. I always watch for the crossing signal, but literally the one time I don’t, it really bites me. It’s not like I almost got hit by any of the cars, and none of them had to jerk to a stop or swerve to avoid me, they just honked at me. By then it was too late and I just kept walking, they probably all thought I was either an idiot or just an asshole and I felt like both. Honestly if it was just one car it would be easier to just let it go, but it was a 4 way intersection loaded with cars. It was like I fucked up in front of a small stadium of people.
It was like 2 days ago and god I can’t stop cringing at it. And I’m for real anxious to walk downtown again.
I’m lucky that none of them flipped me off or yelled at me from their window, that would have been 100x worse, but the honks I got were bad enough.
Anyway, can someone give me a magical memory eraser potion or something because I want to forget it ever happened.
