People Who Ask to Be Run Over

I beg you all, I urge you, I plead on bent knee with my arms reaching out beseechingly: When it’s dark (and especially when every stitch of your clothing is dark), do not walk halfway over a busy road into the medium left-hand turning strip to wait. With opposing traffic buzzing by you, sooner or later, you will get run over.

I almost got to see that tonight (with someone in dark hair, dress, and dark leggings). It would not have been pretty.

It's not worth it. Either go to the crosswalk, or wait until you can cross entirely over the street so you don't have to pose in the middle.
