Learn the rules...

A quick perusal of Australian road rules will reveal motorists are required to give way to pedestrians.

The same applies in most other jurisdictions...in fact I was blown away by how courteous USA drivers are to pedestrians.

Yet, seems some drivers in Oz have a different idea.

While walking to my car parked at my local supermarket carpark, a female of the species (who apparently wanted to reverse onto a car space, the lack of indicators gave me zero clue to her intentions) was incensed by the fact I did not wait for her to literally get her ass into gear...and dared walk past the vacant space she had intended to reverse into.

Then there was the horn, the window down and some words from her...

OK I stopped. Thinking WTF?
We had words.

"You are kidding me!!" she says.
"Actually, I had not idea what you had intended, but you are actually supposed to giv....(I was interrupted)"

Could not get a word in.

It was hopeless.

So I abruptly ended our chat with a quote from a favorite uncle of mine.

Madam! Shut up! I don't argue with Ladies or idiots....and you and no lady!!!
