huh...that's crazy. the worst i've ever had while walking is cars creeping forward on me while i'm in the crosswalk, or turning right and slamming on their brakes due to nearly hitting me. when that happens, i smile and shake my finger at them, like i'm saying "naughty, naughty", and then i walk really slowly in front of their car.
