Damn near obliterated a jay walker today. She just walked right in front of me on Danforth as I'm hauling ass seriously fast, and since I didn't want to risk going around her and her changing her mind and going the other way and taking us both out, I grabbed the brakes and yelled "HEADS UUUUUP!!!!@#" at her. She got so freaked so did this bizzare kind of jump where her legs got all tangled up and came crashing down to the road. I asked if she was ok, she was still on the road blubbering and crying like crazy. I helped her get up, walked her to the curb (she couldn't even stand she was so freaked out, she was putting alot of weight on my bike). I offered her my cell phone to call someone if she needed, and a friendly pedestrian offered to take her into the Second Cup to sit down. As I feel I've done everything a decent human being should do for someone who nearly caused an accident out of blatant stupidity, I rode off home, and yes... I kind of laughed a little. I wouldn't be laughing if she got hurt (even if it had been her fault), but honestly, the whole thing was pretty hilarious.
