Reply to comment by veloharris in Your Take on DC Pedestrians? Are they Aloof? by CorporateProvocateur

Ah. So you're one of them.

"Everyone study all the rules and perfectly memorize them and execute them perfectly every time so that nobody ever has to communicate." I don't think I've ever read a more DC thing in my life.

I'm not playing traffic cop, I'm letting them know I see them and plan to follow the rules.

You're saying I'm in a car and I'm the only one that matters. Just follow the rules and make eye contact if appropriate.

I'm not saying this at all. I do this specifically because pedestrians matter.

This is one of those moments when your jaw just drops. I'm in shock the type of people I'm describing are right here, in this thread.

Condescending? I care about making people feel safe and being safe. The other part of that person's argument is a reasonable take but condescending? I just can't believe that's a real persons take.
