A rant about bad drivers.

I just need to vent because I’m still shaking with anger. I was out on my weekend long run this morning. I have to cross a busy intersection to get to the park I run in. This is a very popular intersection to turn right on red at. I always wait for the white cross signal and I also am om the defensive about drivers turning right on red while I’m in the crosswalk. I got the walk signal and a car turned right on red in front of me but the next car fully stopped and appeared to make eye contact with me so I started walking across (remember, I have the right of way). As I get within a foot of her car she suddenly starts to go and then thankfully slammed on her breaks. I gave her a “wtf??” hand raise and she had the nerve to yell at ME for being in her way. I yelled back at her that I had the walk signal and she had a red light and then some red neck douche in a truck with a PA system behind her interjects himself to say “relax, she didn’t see you”. Mind you, it is broad daylight and I’m wearing a full high vis lime green outfit. I just really really hate idiot drivers and also men in general.🤬 I can’t avoid this intersection so I’m going to have to deal with people being idiots and just not cross if anyone is trying to turn right on red from now on.
