J-walkers suck.
Unless it’s wide open and there are absolutely no drivers present, please don’t j-walk.
Drivers WILL hit you and be haunted by the guilt for the rest of their lives, all because YOU had to save a few seconds by not walking 10 yards closer to the intersection.
Cross at the light, you selfish shmuck.
Why do they even call it j-walking? You’re not moving around in the shape of the letter “j,” literally at all.
Like, not even close.
If anything, they could call it “lowercase-L-walking,” because a lowercase “L” is closer to a straight line across a street than a “j.”
A “fork-in-the-road” doesn’t coincidentally look a great deal like a two-pronged fork. By that logic, “j-walking” should look like whatever thing it is named after.
I don’t know; I think that makes sense…
As I write this, I’m realizing that it’s actually spelled “jaywalking,” in which case none of what I just wrote makes any logical sense.
I’m pretty deep into this post by now, about 175 words in, so rather than sacrificing this whole thing, I’m going to steer into the skid.
Whoever named it j-walking was an idiot. That bozo made a big mistake.
Why “j-walking?”
Why not “a-walking,” “b-walking,” or even “c-walking” for that matter? Any letter of the alphabet would work, because people don’t j-walk in the shape of a “j.”
Stupid bozos can’t even come up with words that make sense.
Until next time,
