@erici Oooh, thank you, there's a Sunday afternoon impulse purchase made! (I threw in The Lost EP while I was there, which is my favourite).

I have just been screamed at by a man in a double-cab ute because I didn’t thank him when I walked across a pedestrian crossing in front of him (he was going at a crawl in heavy traffic). What, I’m supposed to thank you for complying with the road rules and not killing me? Mind you, when out walking, I now assume *all* double-cab ute drivers would kill me, based on observation of driving skills.

I’m always puzzled by people who enthusiastically thank drivers who stop at pedestrian crossings, it sends such an awful message. When those people are driving, do they thanks everyone who stops at a red light when they’re going through a green?
