So I'm driving up Beacon St. today, and at Coolidge Corner my light turns green but the cross traffic is still blocking the box. ("Blocking the box" being a Bostonian term for "traffic sin punishable by death and/or chemical castration") Why is this newer-model Volvo blocking the box? Because some freaking pedestrian is slowly, SLOWLY jaywalking through a Don't Walk signal while engaging in a staredown with the Volvo driver. He is actually in this head-lowered, finger-wagging pose directed at the driver, like, "Don't you dare hurry me while I stroll illegally across the street, because, ASSHOLE, I AM IN A CROSSWALK! HA!" Meanwhile three other lanes of traffic are waiting for this jackass to reach the other side.
God, I LOVE people! I really really do.
