She was almost out of control because I had stopped. I reminded her she probably would need the same consideration shortly and to be more thoughtful.
I looked at it as being sad for her since she obviously had lost touch with
the need to help others and apparently was living an angry life.
What planet was this woman from? There's not a state in the country that doesn't have a law protecting pedestrians in a crosswalk. What would she have you do, run over them so she could get to her????? She not only lost touch with the need to help others, she's lost touch with reality.
