      Had a guy pulling out of a parking lot while I was walking on the sidewalk, with him waiting on the sidewalk to pull into traffic. He actually bothered to back up a bit so I didn’t have to walk in front or behind him. It wasn’t necessary but a cool gesture. We could all do a little more of that in the world.

        I had the same experience earlier this week, except they didn’t back up and instead started driving, forcing me to jump back to avoid being run over

          This is why I would have crossed behind but, did he make eye contact with you? A Pillars are so fucking thick nowadays cars have blindspots forward of the driver. And frankly some people should have never passed their driving tests and we would have public transit to get them where they need to be.
