Reminds me of an incident a while back. Cruising down a four lane road in the right lane. See a tween girl standing at the edge (my side) of the road, eyes fixed firmly in the other direction. I had a feeling she was about to step into the road, so I switch to the left lane so as to give her a wide berth. Out she comes, walking into my lane as I'm barreling down on her, still looking the other way. Foot planted on brake, hand on horn, I come to a screeching halt literally inches from her kneecaps. I yell, "what's your problem you fucking idiot?" She finally looks at me with a  look on her face and continues on her way.
