Am I invisible?

I don't even have to be IN a car to have serious badcarma!

It was 5 a.m. and I and some friends were out for a run. We were crossing the street (and had the GREEN LIGHT) when some dude in an SUV coming from the opposite direction started slowly turning toward us.

We were clearly visible in the crosswalk. But he kept coming and kept coming. I thought for SURE he would stop! But noooooooo.

At the last minute a friend pulled me out of the way as his driverside side mirror missed my left shoulder by millimeters. His window was open and he was smoking. Ick. It was a company car, some oil company or construction company I think.

He stopped about half a car length away. Looked back, then slowly kept going.

What the F? He didn't even have the decency to holler, "Hey, sorry about nearly running you ladies down! Have a nice day."

There's just no common courtesy these days.
