Every weekday morning, on my way to work, I have to cross the street at Delancey & Clinton. It's the location where most cars getting off of the Williamsburg Bridge turn, so you can probably guess that it's a busy area, especially during rush hour.
Can someone please explain to me where the friggin' fire is? Because without fail, every morning, individuals seem to have a problem waiting for the signal that allows them to cross Delancey & Clinton safely.
Singles, people in groups, people with small children, just prance (not run, but prance) across the busy ass street like they're invisible. GET THE #$%& OUT OF THE WAY! And, that's just what's going on in my mind while I'm standing on the corner waiting for the signal. I can just imagine what drivers think.
What the hell is so special on the other side of the street, that you have to risk your life to get over there? It's Delancey Street for goodness sake! What? Is there a hot sale at Rainbow? Is PePe's Joyeria giving away jewelry for free? NO HE ISN'T! So, slow your asses down!

In all fairness to the asses running across - as I have done on more than one occassion - that light changes from walk to don't walk in less than 5 seconds - literally. And those cars don't slow down for anybody or give anyone a courtesy pass. I know one day I am going to be running and fall flat on my fat ass gut and slide across the rest of the way.
Oh, I'm not talking about crossing Delancey Street itself. I'm talking about crossing Clinton Street (from Clinton Papaya to the jewelry store). The short street, definitely not the big one ... that's a totally different "What The Hell?!" moment.
Oh - well in that case carry on.
