I got dropped off at my usual corner of Penn and 10th this morning for work.
The light was red as I kissed the Boyfriend goodbye and climbed out of the car. Bleary eyed, I reenacted my kindergarten rules of "look both ways before jaywalking" even though the light was red. There was a beige-colored Nissan doing at least 45 down Penn Ave which is pretty impressive at 6:30am because of the city buses.
Anyway, when the driver saw me ready to jet out into the street, he honked at me, slowed down and waved me through... which honestly, I was going to just walk anyway because he had the red light. When I got to the other side of the street, I heard this bellowing voice from behind me scream. "YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!!"
I turned around and looked at him and just started laughing hysterically. The driver was so fuming mad at me for not waving thank you to him that he was making obscene hand gestures at me through the glass. Amazed and wanting to egg him on more, I yelled back to him through laughing, "Really? You had to stop anyway."
As I walked toward French Street, the light turned green and my Boyfriend drove past me wondering why I was cracking up while the driver behind him laid on the horn at me as he drove through the intersection.
