Those red things mean stop:

Today I’m walking to my office and a guy three feet in front of me almost gets turned into road kill when a yellow cab plows through the crosswalk.

The guy went crazy and started yelling at the cabby who rolled down his window, to ask the guy “if he wanted to die”. He didn’t mean he was going to kill him but said it to mean the guy was crazy for walking out into the crosswalk.

The guy yelled at the cabby telling him he had a stop sign and should have stopped.

The best part was the cabby and his confused look on his face that read, “stop sign, what’s a stop sign”? The cabby really had no clue what the guy was talking about despite a big red stop sign staring all of us right in the face.

Classic!
