Pedestrian vs. Car, Round I
Comments (10) 
It perplexes me that any pedestrian in the Chicago Loop would run through the crosswalk when the “do not walk” sign is present – rather than wait 20 seconds for the “walk sign” to appear again.
Is the pedestrian in such a hurry to get to work that they would rather risk their life running in front of traffic than be late?
There are a lot of cars in the Loop during rush hour. I have a suspicion the car is most likely to win the race.

I tried to pour oil on troubled waters, but Steven was so infuriated he wouldn’t listen to me, and continued to yell back at our neighbors.
