i'm just trying to help you out.

while walking back from the bank yesterday evening, i found myself waiting for the light to change at ventura and laurel canyon. i first see a police car pull up in the far left lane. no big deal, that's pretty normal. then a girl pulls up in the far right lane, right into the crosswalk. she's not exactly paying much attention to me being a pedestrian and realizing that i will be crossing eventually. i see her rummage through her bag and pull out her blackberry. hmmmm. so me, trying to be a kind, compassionate person, i say to her through her open window "just so you know, there is a cop right there." the girl looks at me and starts giving me all this attitude..."i was just...." (i didn't really catch what she said). so i respond, "i was just trying to help you out!" just then, she gets a green arrow to turn right and wizzes away. i think to myself, man, what is it with people?
