Allow me to set the stage. My vehicle is northbound in a left-hand turn lane. The lane has an advanced green (aka a dedicated green) so that people who want to turn left at this very busy intersection have a chance to do so that's better than a snowball's in Dante's Ninth Ring:

              D|       |
---------------|       |------------
    -    -    -         -    -    -
---------------|    A  |------------
              C|    B  |

So there's a car at A, I'm at B. The target of my bile and ire was a woman in her 20s at C.

The advanced green comes on, halting all traffic except for my left-hand turn lane and the one opposite us. Vehicle at A moves into the intersection to complete the left-hand turn and I'm behind her. But no! The pedestrian at C is crossing the road and heading for D, thereby blocking everyone in the left-hand turn lane! And she saunters across, not really in a hurry. The pedestrian light at that crosswalk has the big red DO NOT WALK icon lit up.

The woman driving vehicle A clearly doesn't have her wits about her, so I lean on my horn and roll down my window. I'm aware of how very long the line of cars behind me in the left-hand lane is, and the lights at this intersection are interminably long. Finally, the pedestrian gets to the sidewalk, and vehicle A completes the turn. So do I -- just barely. The advanced green goes dark and cross traffic is permitted to go.

An advanced green that should've allowed some fifteen or so cars through was spoiled by a pedestrian that clearly has a complete disregard for traffic signals and other people around her. I pulled up to the curb to where she was standing at her bus stop and in a period of sixty seconds drove home the point that she was self-centred, arrogant and a complete waste of oxygen. I didn't swear once, although I did rather loudly label her a "selfish, putrid bint."

She stared at me in shock whilst a couple of older folks sitting at the bus stop applauded after my rant ended.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm proud of what I did, but by God it felt good to do so.
